Policy

Caregiver advertising

This policy applies when we are advertising for caregivers.

Upcoming changes for this policy

This content will be strengthened so it more completely reflects our commitment to practice framed by te Tiriti o Waitangi, based on a mana-enhancing paradigm for practice, and drawing from ​Te Ao Māori principles of oranga to support mana tamaiti, whakapapa and whanaungatanga. We each need to consider how we can apply these principles to our practice when reading this policy. The following resources provide support:
Practice for working effectively with Māori
Our practice shift

Advertisements are for general recruitment

Advertisements must not seek caregivers for specific tamariki.

Advertisements can be used to:

  • attract people who may be interested in becoming a caregiver
  • attract caregivers who are willing to provide a specific type of care, such as respite care or permanent care
  • seek caregivers with skills or knowledge relevant to the local care population.

  • promotes harmful behaviour
  • is politically aligned.

This includes websites associated primarily with trading goods and services, such as Trade Me.
