Reaching Out: engaging and sustaining partnerships for change

Jen was busy collecting stories in Dunedin, Oamaru, Central, Porirua and Balclutha and and I collected stories with the Pacific Island community in Porirua throughout August. There were many wonderful stories and anecdotes that we have themed and highlighted in the Reaching Out report. We have included as many quotes and stories of practice change and the outcomes for tamariki and their whānau as possible.

We categorised implementation of the Reaching Out Engagement Framework as:

Green – easily adopted into relational practice without adaption

Yellow- adapted by practitioners with whānau or require support and permissions from supervisors, managers and/or organisations

Red – largely not adopted or adapted

The core insights expanded in the report:

1. Kaupapa needs to be seen and lived

2. Respecting Small Steps leads to Big Change

3. Changing constructs to achieve sustainability

4. Tools make collaboration and change feel simple and easy
