Welcome to Te Kāhui Kāhu

People subject to the workforce restriction can apply for a core worker exemption. This will lift the prohibition set out in the Children’s Act 2014 and it will no longer be against the law to employ that person as a core children’s worker.

Anyone in a role titled ‘Social Worker’ or practising as a social worker is required to be registered with the Social Workers Registration Board. Te Kāhui Kāhu responds to concerns about anyone presenting as a social worker or practising as a social worker that isn’t registered.
