Kia ora e hoa,
Happy New Year to all!
A new year often signals revitalisation and renewal, and for us at Corrections, we are moving into 2025 with a refreshed version of our organisational strategy, Hōkai Rangi.
The first iteration of Hōkai Rangi, released in August 2019, expressed our commitment to delivering better outcomes with and for the people we manage, their whānau, and our communities.
Hōkai Rangi continues to represent our long-term strategic direction. We all want to see intergenerational change where each person can realise their full potential – for themselves and for the safety of our communities.
Our refreshed Hōkai Rangi outlines three organisational outcomes:
Improved public safety - Reduced reoffending - Reduced Māori overrepresentation.
It contains a new purpose statement:
We make the community safer by supporting people to leave us better and with brighter prospects.
And it retains the six pou (pillars) from the original strategy to guide our work:
- Partnership and Leadership - We value the relationships we have built with our strategic partners. We strive to work collaboratively with Māori.
- Humanising and Healing - We support and uplift the mana and dignity of everyone we manage.
- Whānau - We support whānau to walk alongside their loved ones during their rehabilitation and reintegration journey.
- Whakapapa - We work knowing that whakapapa can be the beginning of healing and wellbeing.
- Incorporating a Te Ao Māori worldview - We enable access to culture as a fundamental right, not a privilege. We work to provide equitable access to cultural activities for all.
- Foundations for Participation - We help people to better participate in society and live offence-free lives.
