The Children's Minister says good progress is being made on reports coming into Oranga Tamariki.
The Ministry for Children estimates it's seen a 45% increase in reports of concern in the year to April.
Karen Chhour says the number of children in unsafe households is alarming but it's positive seeing more people reporting them.
She told Mike Hosking the urgency of each report can vary, with several potentially applying to the same child.
Chhour says not all reports need Oranga Tamariki intervention, with lower urgency cases better dealt with by community resources.
