This report describes the findings from a Kaupapa Māori research study of six distinct Training and Development for Caregiving Whānau pilot programmes - aimed to improve the capability of caregiving whānau, build better attachments between tamariki and their caregiving whānau, and achieve placement stabilisation.

Kaupapa Māori research often involves “by Māori, for Māori, with Māori” and participatory approaches committed to social justice and equity.

Exploratory research centred on understanding the journeys experienced by caregivers, provider staff, and Oranga Tamariki social workers.
Evaluative aspects were included, related to procurement, design and implementation, and early outcomes described by participants.

The research was commissioned in late 2017, and ran through to the end of June 2019. The pilots were one of the first things Oranga Tamariki did to improve learning opportunities for caregiving whānau. (From the website).
