This episode contains discussion of suicide.

A coronial inquest into the deaths of six young people in Northland identified significant gaps in the support available to rangatahi and their whānau, including poor communication between government agencies and under-resourced mental health services.

Open Justice reporter Shannon Pitman joins Jane Yee to discuss what the inquest found, the changes already being made in Northland, and why telling the stories of the young people involved matters.

Then, we take a wider look at New Zealand’s coronial system — why an inquest might be held, what a coroner is trying to establish, and how their recommendations can help prevent future deaths.

Case by Case is a New Zealand Herald podcast from the Open Justice team, with support from New Zealand On Air.

New episodes every Tuesday at 5.30PM NZT.
