Eight young people have climbed onto the roof of a South Auckland youth justice facility this evening.
Oranga Tamariki says police were called to the Korowai Manaaki facility in Wiri shortly before 6pm.
In a statement, acting director of youth justice services and residential care Iain Chapman said Oranga Tamariki was working with police at Korowai Manaaki.
"We are working with police to resolve this matter and can confirm there are no concerns for public safety and the young people are still within the facility," he said.
It is the second protest at Korowai Manaaki this year - seven teenagers were charged after spending the night on the roof in October.
