Ngā Tini Whetū, a whānau-centred early support prototype involving Te Puni Kōkiri, Oranga Tamariki and ACC is having a positive impact on whānau lives and improving the safety and wellbeing of tamariki, says Whanau Ora Minister Peeni Henare.

“Whānau involved in Ngā Tini Whetū have increased their independence and hopefulness for their future. They have the tools and skills they need to improve their family life, health and prevent injuries.

“When whānau are supported to realise their own aspirations, they, their community and all of Aotearoa New Zealand thrive. This is why the Government continues to support Whānau Ora,” says Minister Henare.

Two reports released by Te Pou Matakana called E Tipu, E Rea – The Collateral Change for Reducing Child Poverty and The Blueprint for System Change report show that whānau experience was positive and their involvement in the Nga Tini Whetu prototype has been life changing.
