Assessment and planning

Good planning should follow the SMART principles: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timeframed.
Working with Māori
Whakapapa research
Whakapapa research focuses on researching and identifying people, places and events that will provide tamariki with access to important cultural connections for their sense of belonging, wellbeing and identity.
Assessment and planning
Allocating a key worker and co-worker
When a statutory assessment, investigation or intervention is required for a tamaiti or rangatahi, a key worker is allocated who holds responsibility for all case activity. A co-worker may assist the key worker for a specific purpose.
Practice tools
Using scaling questions
Scaling questions are a valuable assessment tool. They assume that things happen on a continuum and open up room for discussion about what could be different.
Interventions
Partnered response
A partnered response is an early intervention for tamariki and whānau or family who have support needs that don't present a risk of serious harm for te tamaiti, and so don't need a statutory Oranga Tamariki response.
