Ko mātou

We are a diverse team supported by the Centre for Non-Adversarial Justice at Auckland University of Technology and Hoani Waititi marae whānau.

He Ture Kia Tika is a co-production project which means academic researchers are working alongside those with lived experience of health, justice and social care systems to develop diverse solutions that that will form policy, law and service development recommendations to produce positive outcomes for whānau.

Kaumātua support

We acknowledge Dame Naida Glavish (Ngāti Whātua) and Riki Nia Nia (Ngāi Tūhoe, Ngāti Kahungungu) support and the gifting of the project name. We also acknowledge Tā Pita Sharples and Whaea Hinerapa Rupuha who met with our team at our first hui at Hoani Waititi. We are grateful for ongoing support for our research rōpu from Ken Kerehoma (Ngāti Whātua).
