Restructure proposals being presented to public servants on Wednesday will see job cuts in the sector run to more than 2000.
Oranga Tamariki and the Ministry of Education are set to make all-staff announcements about their plans to meet demands to save money.
Leaders at the children’s ministry have already contacted affected staff members.
Oranga Tamariki chief executive Chappie Te Kani said workers will be able to provide feedback on the proposal.
“It has been a priority to ensure we do as much as we can to connect with our kaimahi, to keep them informed with regular updates, to share information around the process we are using, and be open about the fact that the document we will release on Wednesday is a proposal and everyone will have a chance to provide feedback before a final decision is made.”
