The Māori Strategic Plan will contribute to the Strategic Business Plan by highlighting areas of focus that will contribute to the same outcomes and strategic priorities to positively impact on Māori offending.
The Māori Strategic Plan brings together a range of views from managers, staff and Māori partners. Information from Māori designed frameworks and research have also contributed to this plan – notably the work of Professor Mason Durie. More importantly, the plan will consolidate what we currently have in place with a key focus on ‘succeeding for Māori’.
The Māori Strategic Plan is built on knowledge collected to date. As further knowledge becomes available and research and evaluations are completed, it is likely that more opportunities will arise to be successful for Māori offenders.
Alongside the Strategic Business Plan and the Māori Strategic Plan, we will focus on detailed annual business planning. This will ensure that the work we do, and the way we work, is successful for Māori and contributes to the Department’s vision, outcomes and strategic priorities.
The Māori Strategic Plan is a plan for all staff in all groups and services. Together we all have a role in contributing towards improving outcomes for Māori offenders.
“To succeed overall, we must succeed for Māori offenders.”
