Enrolling and supporting ākonga Māori in Māori boarding schools

Care
Caregiver and adoption assessment framework
The framework provides attributes to consider as we build and deepen our understanding of a caregiver or adoptive applicant's capability and capacity to provide quality care for tamariki and rangatahi.
Care
Planning with rangatahi for their transition from care to adulthood
Planning is agreed and updated by an appropriate, comprehensive whānau decision-making process, such as a family group conference or a hui ā-whānau or family meeting process. It needs to be well facilitated and inclusive.

Assessment and planning
Working effectively with whānau or families impacted by violence
Family violence is abusive behaviour that can occur across whakapapa and generations and has complex causes. To support change, we consider restorative approaches that engage the whole whānau or family, rather than focusing on individuals or incidences.
