Child Protection Investigations
Professional support for investigating child protection incidents
Child Matters offers an investigation service, which can either provide a review of processes followed after an incident (with recommendations to strengthen procedures for future situations) or an independent investigation into incident(s) that have not met the threshold for investigation by New Zealand Police or Oranga Tamariki.
Our staff bring extensive investigation experience, from the New Zealand Police, WorkSafe, and leading roles in the private sector, ensuring a professional and thorough approach every time.
Why choose an external service for child protection investigations?
Child protection issues should not be investigated by someone involved or closely related to the incident - any advice and investigative work should be outsourced to an independent investigator for assurance that best practice is being followed, while also mitigating risk for the school or organisation.
Child Matters investigation services can:
Review incidents independently
Provide a fully independent review or complete management of child protection incidents, strictly following best-practice and industry standards.
Protect your organisation
Help safeguard your school or organisation, ensuring compliance, transparency, and peace of mind.
Whether you need a comprehensive review or full investigation management, we adapt our services to your unique needs.
