An independent monitoring system and more rights for caregivers are part of the Act Party\'s plan to improve Oranga Tamariki.
\\nLeader David Seymour says the agency has failed our most vulnerable children.
\\nAct wants to split social worker duties between mentors and child protection officers to serve both a tough and a nurturing role.
\\nAlso on their agenda is transferring youth justice functions from Oranga Tamariki to Corrections, and boosting accountability by giving the agency\'s boss KPIs.\\xa0
\\nSeymour says caregiving must be made more appealing to address a national shortage.
\\nAct\'s spokesperson for Children, Karen Chhour, joined Mike Hosking to discuss.
