Embed an end to end collaborative way of working across prevention, crisis and resilience building
Key Pillars
Resilient Communities
built on self determined need and strengths; that flourish within environments that support and enable protective factors
Devolved funding models
that promote equity and facilitate a one-plan approach
A flexible system
of proportionate universalism that reflects the diversity of Counties Manukau
Workforce Capability
and a ‘can do’ culture that responds to communities
Collaborative ways of working
including NGO leadership focused on whānau defined aspirations
Aspirations
In 5 years time we will be able to say
Children and whānau are leading the development of their own “one plan” and they trust us to support them
We are working in partnership with Iwi
Collaboration across government and non-government organisations is the way of working
Our frontline workers want to work in a multi-disciplinary environment
NGOs are enabled to take the lead in supporting communities of greatest need and whānau to build long term resilience
We will know we’ve succeeded when
Our systems are able to flex up and flex down to respond to the goals and aspirations of whānau
There is an agreed definition of partnership and there is mutual trust and confidence
Agencies initiate collaborative working because it improves whānau outcomes, and adds value to the way they are able to support whānau
Multi-disciplinary working is seen as a professional development opportunity and pathway. Trusted relationships are not dependent on individuals.
NGOs are funded in a way that enables them to walk alongside whānau and feel supported by agencies when they require their support.
