This workshop provides an opportunity to strengthen Child Health’s engagement with and application of Te Tiriti o Waitangi within services and pathways. The workshop will assist services to think about indigenous rights based equity and teach a framework which will help achieve more equitable outcomes for Māori.
The Waitangi Tribunal Report (WAI 2575, published 2019) identified systematic breaches of Te Tiriti o Waitangi across the health sector. These breaches have led to widespread and pervasive health inequities for Māori children and their whānau which are unjust, unfair and unacceptable. Starship Child Health is committed to eliminating these inequities.
