OT care and protection residence temporarily closed

The Oranga Tamariki care and protection residence in Christchurch where a young person was reportedly tackled and held in a headlock will be temporarily closed. The video posted this week on the Newsroom website showed a young person being surrounded by staff, tackled, restrained and held in a headlock at one of the ministry's care and protection facilities. The agency's chief executive, Sir Wira Gardiner, said the leaked video was one of the reasons that led to the decision to close down Te Oranga, and so that investigations could proceed. RNZ Ōtautahi/Christchurch reporter Rachel Graham was at the announcement and speaks to Māni Dunlop.
