Breastfeeding connects pēpi and their mother spiritually and emotionally, as well as providing physical nourishment. We ensure breastfeeding and access to breast milk, and the physical connection of pēpi to their parents and whānau or family, is supported

Developing a supervision agreement – guide
Occurs on: Resources for the tangata whenua and bicultural supervision model
A guide for developing a supervision agreement for the tangata whenua and bicultural supervision model.
Assessment and planning
Coercively controlling violence
We notice when a person uses a range of behaviours or actions to dominate, exploit, control and trap another person and we consider the impact on parenting and the oranga of tamariki and rangatahi.
Practice approach
Recording casework
We document key actions and decisions for tamariki and rangatahi and their whānau or family so significant decisions are clearly evidenced and transparent, including how the information was gathered and how we have interpreted the information.
Assessment and planning
Protect and support the development of tamariki and rangatahi within healthy whānau and families
We aim to build safety through relational, inclusive and restorative practice with whānau and families, and developing a plan that supports oranga and activates resources to keep tamariki and rangatahi safe.
