Te Pae Tata – Māori strategy and action plan
English | Te Reo
Te Pae Tata sets out how we will achieve better outcomes for Māori
Our vision is that whānau are strong, safe, prosperous and active within their community, living with a clear sense of identity and cultural integrity and control over their destiny – Te mana kaha o te whānau.
Embedding a Māori world view throughout our organisation will help us think differently about the way we work with Māori. We want all our people to have the capability to do their best for individuals, whānau, hapū and iwi, no matter where or how they connect with us.
In terms of Mana manaaki:
- We will earn the respect and trust of Māori, listen without judgement and be open and fair.
- Our staff, and people who are providing services on our behalf, will work to be respected and trusted by Māori. Staff will be appropriately skilled and know how they can positively contribute to improving outcomes for Māori.
- Our staff will be supported to engage in te reo Māori and tikanga Māori, and to engage in whanau and/or cultural commitments and expectations. We will celebrate their successes and achievements.
In terms of Kotahitanga:
- We will form genuine partnerships with Māori and support Māori to lead the way in any service design and delivery models that we commission for Māori.
- Our staff, and people providing services on our behalf, will understand the value of and have genuine partnerships with Māori. Staff will have credible relationships with sector partners and belong to networks that want better outcomes for Māori.
- We understand that Māori know what works best for Māori and will support Māori to do things for themselves. We will undertake to engage Māori in any matters that affect Māori.
In terms of Kia takatū tātou:
- We will support Māori aspirations and champion and support initiatives that see Māori develop and grow as Māori.
- Our staff, and people providing services on our behalf, will work to better enable Māori to have sustainable employment, financial stability, stable housing and healthy relationships.
