Campaign to save Stand Children's Services

From The Panel, 4:42 pm on 29 May 2018

The Prime Minister will be hit with an e-mob campaign by those protesting the closure of the Stand Children's Sevices Rox burgh children's village.

A petition has also been created to save the Roxburgh village and one in Otaki. Bronwyn Ngatai, director of ADHD Foundation for Aotearoa NZ, started the petition and tells us why the service is so important.

Correction: Bronwyn Ngatai says in this piece that "100 percent of the children that attend these camps are covered by court orders, these are court orders issued out by Oranga Tamariki..."

Oranga Tamariki would like to clarify -  'Stand Children's Services are not accredited to work with children who are subject to any kind of care arrangement'.
