Abstract: This paper summarises the main findings of an analysis of integrated administrative data that describes the characteristics of children who are at greater risk of poor long-term outcomes. It provides information on their contacts with selected government social service agencies and some of the costs associated with the provision of services by those agencies. The research is part of a broader work programme which seeks to improve the lives of New Zealanders by using information and evidence to better understand the characteristics and needs of people who use public services and the impact of those services on longer-term outcomes. The analytical paper is being released alongside an infographic document which summarises the results of the analysis. This information can also be viewed via an interactive online tool which displays the data by geographical location. See Social Investment Insights at www.treasury.govt.nz/sii
