Northcare
Trust is committed to the Treaty of Waitangi, and part of that commitment
has been reflected by the appointment of the Kaiwhakahaere.
The
approach that has been taken by Northcare Trust in terms of its commitment
to the Treaty of Waitangi, has been an holistic approach which embraces
the spiritual, and physical well-being of Tangata Whaiora and Staff.
The
role of the Kaiwhakahaere is to ensure that culturally appropriate services
are provided for Tangata Whaiora, such as cultural assessments, cultural
support and support for whanau of Tangata Whaiora.
The
Kaiwhakahaere also provides support for the Staff of Northcare Trust,
through providing Treaty of Waitangi Workshops, Cultural Awareness and
Cultural Safety Programmes.
