A police inquiry into physical and sexual abuse at Gloriavale is now focusing on the on-site school. The Ministry of Education and Oranga Tamariki have confirmed an investigation is under way. An Oranga Tamariki spokesperson said they also could not provide any further details. Earlier this year, police and Oranga Tamariki completed four days of interviews at the Christian community as part of an investigation into "a range of alleged offending, including sexual offences". Just Standfast, a former teacher at the school, admitted a charge of sexual conduct with a child in 2019.
