The head of a Māori-led inquiry into Oranga Tamariki who slammed it for inexplicable breaches of human rights towards Māori will now be at the forefront of its transformation.
Dame Naida Glavish is one of four Māori leaders chosen by Children s Minister Kelvin Davis to form the newly-established Oranga Tamariki Ministerial Advisory Board.
The announcement comes just days after Grainne Moss resigned as head of the agency, which has been under intense scrutiny and criticism since a video was published of the uplift of a week-old Māori baby in Hastings in 2019.
