Professor Cameron Grant, Head of Department of Paediatrics at the University of Auckland, is one of the founding investigators of the Growing Up in NZ study, and a paediatrician at Starship Hospital. Professor Grant will present on the the significant impacts of the pandemic and our response to it on the physical and mental health of children in New Zealand. The New Zealand response has created some real challenges that children and young people will face in the coming years.

Members of Oranga Tamariki's intelligence management team, which has been instrumental in designing the Oranga Tamariki response to the pandemic, will also present on how the Ministry has addressed the new reality for our tamariki, caregivers and staff.

The event will be held online only on 1 December 2021, from 10.30am to 12 noon.

After the talks there will be an opportunity for questions and discussion.

This will be a virtual seminar only. Register now to receive an online invitation to join via Microsoft Teams by emailing research@ot.govt.nz
