Frame within a frame

A photo shows 2 adults sitting on a couch and talking while 3 children sit on the floor in front of them. A boy aged around 8 is reading a book. An infant aged around 1 has large puzzle pieces to the side. A girl sits with her back to us. There is a picture frame around the whole photo and 2 smaller frames around the infant and the girl.

Above the photo, it says: Frame within a frame. Oranga framing supports a stronger response to harm and risk of harm by situating it within the frame of oranga, expanding our response from incident focused to ecologically focused.

On the left side of the photo, it says:

Hinengaro (mental wellbeing) – Empowering thought patterns, memories, feelings and actions enhancing oranga, individual and collective potential.

Waiora (environmental wellbeing) – Societal, natural, physical, socio-economic and structural needs, material deprivation, advocacy to maximise rights and identify barriers.

Tinana (physical wellbeing) – Healthy, active lifestyles and access to health services and rongoā Māori.

On the right side of the photo, it says:

Wairua (cultural wellbeing) – Values, beliefs (including spiritual), customs, significant peole and places that restore wairua.

Ngākau (emotional wellbeing) – Feeling safe, valued, listened to and respected, enabling trusting and meaningful relationships.

Whānau (family wellbeing) – Whakapapa, whanaungatanga, collective wellbeing to strengthen resilience.

Te Puna Oranga: oranga framing

[video appears of Marlene standing at the front of a meeting room with a large screen behind her showing an image of Te Puna Oranga and listing the 5 key oranga elements]

[Marlene talks to the people in the room]

So when we frame that up [report of concern], they are using a frame that is about the harm that happened, the risk that's there, the information maybe from Police, from the health services, it's all in there, it's about that risk domination and safety that has come in there. It's important for us to know.

[Marlene lifts up a photo frame]

But if that is about me and I hold that frame with just that in it [Marlene places the frame above her  mouth, showing the top part of her face], what can you see of me? [pause] It's not a trick question.

[some people in the room respond, the words not distinguishable]

[Marlene continues talking]

Yep. So can you see I have a moko kauae? Which goes to my identity. Can you see that I have a disability? Can you see that I'm a rainbow person? Can you see my family? My community? You can't see any of those things.

[Marlene moves the frame away from her face]

So what we are saying here is that that's a really important frame but it is too small, it's too narrow. But we can't take our eyes off it. So what we are saying is that we want a larger frame to understand better, which is Te Puna Oranga.

[Marlene holds up an A3-sized frame and places it in front of the slide of Te Puna Oranga on the screen behind her]

So we are saying we don't want just that small frame. We want a larger frame.

[Marlene lowers the larger frame and holds up the small frame]

So what does that mean? Does that mean, ok, we get the notification and then we go, ok got it.

All right, now what about move that over here [holds up larger frame with other hand and brings them butting up together]

What we are saying is we don't want you to take your eyes off that [emphasises small frame]. That's really important. We want you to place it inside of the other frame [moves small frame inside larger frame].

We never lose sight of the important part of our work but we widen our view and understanding of it.
