Our vision

We are a nation of people of many creeds, ethnicities, heritages and values

Our Mission/Kaupapa

Every day we work to make a lasting difference to the lives of tamariki and whānau in need, so they thrive.

Our Guiding Principles

Our guiding principles support our vision, shape our culture and reflect what we believe and value. They guide the work we do and were developed through a number of hui held across the organisation, where staff shared what was important to them about working.

Once the concepts were agreed, Te Rōpū and former Barnardos Pou Ārahi Maori Whare Tamanui provided the Māori translation.

Hear with intent

We listen carefully and our actions are guided by the voices of the tamariki and whānau we serve.

Realise potential

We have the courage and strength to achieve growth, development and transformation.

Do the right things well

We do the right things the right way, with integrity and purpose.

Progress with purpose

We are visionary, we inspire, we are creative and show initiative to make change happen.

Unity

We build reciprocal and cooperative relationships which create a sense of connection and belonging.

Kia eke ai te hunga taitamariki ki ngā rangu tūhāhā
