Practice approach
Oranga and the tangata whenua and bicultural supervision model
Oranga is central to the supervision model and is expressed as kaimahi ora, mahi ora and whānau ora. If supervision maintains a central focus on the ora of kaimahi, and kaimahi are enabled within their workplace, they will be able to promote whānau ora.
Youth justice, Interventions
Whānau or family meeting or hui ā-whānau following family group conference referrals on section 14(1)(e) grounds
A whānau or family meeting or hui ā-whānau should be held within 7 working days for each section 14(1)(e) family group conference referral intake so whānau or family can consider the initial supports and services that might reduce the risk of reoffending.
