Evidence Library
Four systems. Four sets of outcomes.
These case studies show how community, governance, data, cultural safety and frontline delivery intersect in practice.
The work is not theoretical.
It has been delivered inside real systems, with real people, real reporting requirements and measurable outcomes.
Kāinga Ora
Challenge
Cultural safety had to connect history, policy and public-sector responsibility — not just compliance training.
Approach
Designed, coordinated and facilitated online cultural awareness and cultural safety sessions for staff across a large public-sector housing and communities agency. Delivery was grounded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi, Aotearoa New Zealand history, Māori experience, cultural safety and public-sector responsibility. A virtual history walk was created to support learning through place, history and reflection.
Outcome
Reached approximately 4,000 staff. Delivered sessions 5 days per week, 4 times per day, 45 minutes each. Acted as sole facilitator for more than 12 months. Supported data acquisition, reporting and briefing pathways connected to the Minister of Housing's weekly report to New Zealand Parliament.

What This Proves

Tū Oho Mai Services
Challenge
Vulnerable families were held inside unmanaged data systems with no audit trail, limited reporting integrity and unclear funding pathways.
Approach
Updated and restructured an unmanaged, stagnant client database containing more than 3,000 uncategorised client records. Rebuilt the data system for audit readiness, reporting integrity and service accountability. Supported culturally grounded planning with vulnerable families, men and communities impacted by family violence, trauma, colonisation and social service involvement.
Outcome
3,000+ client records restructured. 90% compliance pass through Ministry of Social Development and Ministry of Justice audit processes. 100% approval for submitted external funding support requests for individuals and families.

What This Proves

Tairāwhiti Community Law Centre
Challenge
Legal information had to reach people outside legal spaces, through accessible public education, community media and trusted local relationships.
Approach
Designed and delivered community legal education programmes across schools, NGOs, community organisations and vulnerable groups. Researched and produced monthly legal information articles over seven years. Managed the full data acquisition and reporting database for Ministry of Justice requirements.
Outcome
74 legal information articles researched and produced. 35% increase in radio and public engagement. Improved public access to legal information and rights-based education. Strengthened Ministry of Justice reporting integration.

Worked with students, families, schools, community stakeholders, university teams and external partners to support access, aspiration-building, youth pathways and community-facing education initiatives.
Outcome
