Oranga Tamariki's privacy standards are in the spotlight after a critical review.  The report highlighted nine cases it described as a 'snapshot of issues'.  They include a locked cabinet of client files being donated to charity, and social workers giving a mother's and child's address to a father accused of rape.  In another, a mother suffered more abuse - after her file was shared with her child's father.  Minister for Children Karen Chhour says that case was particularly tough reading.  "That gives me grave concern - which is why I set an expectation for Oranga Tamariki around privacy and privacy breaches. These are unacceptable."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
