The formal all-of-government response to the Gloriavale Christian community on the South Island's West Coast has come to an end.
Nine agencies were involved in the group, including police, WorkSafe and Oranga Tamariki, led by the West Coast Regional Public Service Commissioner.
It was established in August 2022 to work on five key outcomes for Gloriavale members, but the cabinet mandate came to an end last year and has not been extended.
The outcomes included making sure members received minimum legal entitlements, and that children received an education and weren't exploited for commercial gain.
The Ministry of Business, Employment and Innovation said agencies would still continue working with Gloriavale.
