Goal 4

How we will do it

Establish iwi leadership in governance and local community partnerships

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

  1. Children and whānau are leading the development of their own “one plan” and they trust us to support them

  2. We are working in partnership with Iwi

  3. Collaboration across government and non-government organisations is the way of working

  4. Our frontline workers want to work in a multi-disciplinary environment

  5. 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

  1. Our systems are able to flex up and flex down to respond to the goals and aspirations of whānau

  2. There is an agreed definition of partnership and there is mutual trust and confidence

  3. Agencies initiate collaborative working because it improves whānau outcomes, and adds value to the way they are able to support whānau

  4. Multi-disciplinary working is seen as a professional development opportunity and pathway. Trusted relationships are not dependent on individuals.

  5. NGOs are funded in a way that enables them to walk alongside whānau and feel supported by agencies when they require their support.
