Development of the mana-enhancing paradigm for practice Mereana Wi-Kaitaia, Leland Ruwhiu and Moana Eruera - Wellington, New Zealand : Oranga Tamariki, Ministry for Children, 2021 - electronic document (16 pages0 ; PDF file

This is the last of three papers which describe the evidence gathering and consultation that has underpinned Oranga Tamariki’s more recent commitment to move frontline social work practice to a Māori-centred approach.



This short paper traces the history of Te Ao Māori values and tikanga that culminated in the development of the mana-enhancing paradigm for social work practice.

The purpose is to inform a statutory social work practice paradigm shift for Oranga Tamariki from a western/Eurocentric position to a Māori-centred position. It draws from academic discourse, oral narratives and research relating to Te Ao Māori and social work. (From the website). Record #7335
