Using the resources

Start with the resource that matches your role and purpose

Some resources support everyday practice with people and whānau. Others are designed for facilitators, leaders or communities exploring wider implementation.

Te Ako Manaaki is an adaptable framework rather than a one-size-fits-all programme. Tools should be used with professional judgement, appropriate cultural practice, privacy safeguards and an understanding of the local context.

Support a person or whānau

Use the Practice Companion to work across systems, relationships, priority domains and different time horizons.

Facilitate a cross-sector hui

Use the Facilitation Guide to establish purpose, create shared understanding, manage discussion and agree clear actions.

Introduce the framework

Use the Framework Overview and One-Page Summary once the updated versions are available.

Explore implementation

Use the future Readiness Assessment and Implementation Guide to consider local conditions and next steps.

Learning and capability

Build understanding through video and facilitated learning

The video library includes learning developed through the earlier Managed Moves application of Te Ako Manaaki, including material on trauma, brain development and supporting children and young people.

Training videos

Use these as professional-learning resources and review the context and date of each item before applying it.

Using tools responsibly

Resources support practice; they do not replace professional obligations

• Use professional judgement and appropriate cultural guidance.
• Protect privacy and share only information relevant to planning and support.
• Follow applicable organisational policies, legislation and safeguarding requirements.
• Adapt language and processes to the people, whānau and community involved.
• Seek facilitation, implementation or training support where the context is complex.
