1. In December 2021, the Inquiry delivered its interim report He Purapura Ora, he Māra Tipu – From Redress to Puretumu Torowhānui to the Governor-General. It included 95 recommendations that, if implemented:

will establish what will eventually be a new scheme to provide puretumu torowhānui, or holistic redress for survivors of abuse in the care of State agencies, agencies providing care on the State’s behalf (indirect State care), and faith-based institutions. This puretumu torowhānui scheme will aim to restore the power, dignity and standing of those affected by abuse in care, without them having to go to court, as well as take effective steps to prevent abuse. It will fit within what the Inquiry refers to as the “puretumu torowhānui system”, which is the wider system of services, organisations (including the courts), laws, and policies that have a role in providing different types of puretumu torowhānui and preventing or responding to tūkino – abuse, harm and trauma – in care.[1]

2. In Chapter 2, the Inquiry assesses the responses by Government and faith-based institutions to He Purapura Ora, he Māra Tipu and their progress to implement the Inquiry’s recommendations.

3. Chapter 3 provides the Inquiry’s conclusions on the implementation of its recommendations by the Government and faith-based institutions.
