Children and young people are involved and empowered
Oranga Whakapapa is a kaupapa Māori informed healthy consensual relationships initiative that aims to support whānau to protect their whakapapa through tapu-enriched and mana-enhanced relationships with others and te taiao (the environment).
This will include a clear understanding of the mātauranga on what a positive tangata whenua relationship is, including the enablers for whānau and the design of locally led approaches to enable oranga whakapapa.
Next steps
- Undertake co-design process with whānau, hapu and communities.
