A Gisborne woman who has taken over the care of six children who were removed by the state says they were traumatised by the process.
She and other advocates are backing calls for Oranga Tamariki to provide more support and resources for whānau who have had children removed - and for those caring for them.
It follows a major Māori-led report into Oranga Tamariki released on Monday.
Te Aniwa Hurihanganui reports.
