This evaluation aims to determine the effectiveness of the Wraparound Service delivered by Te Whakaruruhau. The focus is on improving the health and wellbeing of whānau. The evaluation sought to answer three main questions:
What are the features of their environment which undermine the health and wellbeing of whānau?
How do Te Whakaruruhau kaimahi work with whānau to address these features of the environment?
How has the development of the Wraparound Service contributed to enhancing the health and wellbeing of whānau?

Data and information for this evaluation was gathered from in-person interviews with women and whānau accessing the Wraparound Service; an internal scan of communications, case files, background history, and staff notes; attendance at Te Whakaruruhau team meetings; and informal conversations with Te Whakaruruhau staff; along with a review of recorded expenditure.

The findings are grouped around 3 core themes: housing, system navigation, and restoration of self-worth. (From the Executive summary). Record #8885
