We work across cultures, in partnership and we value the voice of te tamaiti
Our research is informed by a Te Ao Māori worldview, and we operate in a way that respects the full range of knowledge sources. We work with partner organisations who are close to our communities and we strive to hold our tamariki at the centre of our thinking.
We are leaders in child-centred research
Developing the wellbeing model gives us a population-level view of how tamariki are doing and who is in need. We have a cross-sector leadership role in understanding what works for New Zealand’s tamariki and whānau and in what context.
