Children's Minister Karen Chhour has reversed an Oranga Tamariki decision to pull funding from the Barnardos helpline.
It comes after Oranga Tamariki providers were given little notice their funding would end last year, a process the Auditor General is looking into.
The Minister has told Oranga Tamariki to pause it's review of funding and extend existing contracts with providers until the end of the year.
Barnardos Chief Executive Matt Reid has welcomed the reversal.
