Te Poutama Ārahi Rangatahi OPCAT monitoring report

Mana Mokopuna conducted an unannounced follow-up visit to Te Poutama Ārahi Rangatahi (Te Poutama) between 30 July and 1 August 2024 as part of its NPM monitoring visit programme. The objective of our OPCAT Monitoring as a NPM is to prevent ill-treatment in all places where mokopuna are deprived of their liberty by regularly monitoring and assessing the standard of care experienced in these facilities.

The report captures a snapshot of the residence at the time of the visit by highlighting any presenting issues and concerns, as well as areas of strength and good practice observed during the visit. The report also outlines the progress made against the recommendations from our last full OPCAT Monitoring visit in February 2023.
