There are three key elements to this year’s funding:
•Investing in community-led, whānau-centered services that provide more sustained and holistic support built around families and whānau to heal and strengthen, as well as to respond where they need to
•Providing ongoing funding for existing place-based, multi-agency safety responses that provide a solid foundation for developing whānau-centered, integrated, community-led responses to address violence; and
•Strengthening the system response through:
– significant on-going funding for Māori-Crown partnership arrangements
– strategic coordination of data and insights to build a learning system; and
– additional resourcing for the Joint Venture to support the delivery of the National Strategy and Action Plans, on which we began engagement last week.
