This Te Puni Kokiri review evaluates the responsiveness to Maori needs, rights and interests of the Department of Child, Youth and Family Services' (CYFS) new contracting process. A set of expectations were designed by Te Puni Kokiri as the foundation for the evaluation. Information was gathered from a variety of sources, including interviews with CYFS employees, non-Maori social service providers and Iwi/Maori social service providers. Findings from the interviews with social service providers identify some key factors regarding CYFS responsiveness to Maori, including that CYFS do not have a clear long-term commitment to Maori. Te Puni Kokiri produced recommendations from the review with the aim of improving CYFS contracting process for Maori. The recommendations come under four categories: statutory and Treaty of Waitangi obligations, the contract and Maori, the contracting framework, and provider and workforce development.
