Protecting our children Services for Children in Care

Expansion of Gateway Assessments: health and education profiles for children in care

$15.3 million over four years will be invested in comprehensive gateway assessments for children and young people that are entering or already in New Zealand’s care and protection system.

Understanding the unmet health, mental health and education needs of children and young people is vital in ensuring they’re able to access the help they need.

All children and young people entering state care each year (around 2,200) will be assessed. In addition 500 children and young people already in state care and 1,500 children or young people participating in family group conferences identified as most at risk will also be assessed.

Gateway Assessments involve collating existing health and education information and administering screening tools (including screening for parent’s mental health and drug and alcohol issues). Each child or young person will have their own inter-agency child development plan to wrap the appropriate services and support around them in response to the Assessments.

After four years, $3.8 million will continue to be invested annually in this initiative by the Ministry of Social Development. The cost of education profiles will continue to be met from the Ministry of Education’s baseline funding.
