Kawerongo hiko - June 2018

Kia hiwa ra kia hiwa ra!  Ngā mihi o te wā o Matariki kia koutou katoa. Ahakoa te kaha o Tāwhirimātea me te tino makariri o te wā, ko te tūmanako ka whai oranga koutou i raro i te maru o ngā Atua

Warm greetings from cold Pōneke to one and all.  Another busy month for NKM with much happening around the motu and on the political front with implications for all SV services, particularly kaupapa Māori agencies and kaimahi-ā-mahi-tūkino..    

Tikanga-ā-kaimahi or kaupapa Māori good practice guidelines 

This important kaupapa remains a key priority for NKM, on behalf of the Māori sector to ensure protection of mātauranga that will be collected to inform these guidelines are at the forefront of ongoing negotiations with the Government. Mā te tika, mā te pono, ka taea tātou ki te taumata. 

Kaupapa Māori workforce development/training

The ongoing karanga for the urgent need to develop and provide kaupapa Māori training for kaimahi-ā-mahi-tūkino resounded from all corners of the motu in our recent scan of KM services.  Key findings and recommendations regarding the urgency for government funding/resourcing of KM training and service expansion were clearly outlined in the report submitted to MSD in May. This remains a top priority for NKM. We are exploring options for development of interim training to build workforce capability in the Māori sector.
