"Leaders and teachers need to develop a greater understanding of the cultural competencies required to inform provision for Māori and Pacific children at the service."
Cultural competencies for Māori and Pacific children provision identified as area needing development.
"During the review, the service provided ERO with evidence that shows it has addressed the following non-compliance: Having a written child protection policy which contains provisions for the identification of abuse, and a procedure that sets out how the service will identify and respond to suspected child abuse and/or neglect (HS31)."
Legal compliance requirements met; non-compliance in child protection policy addressed before review completion.
"Internal evaluation processes have been established. Increasing the collective capability of teachers to undertake service wide evaluation for improvement is required. The service is not yet using evaluation processes to identify the impact of changes made on outcomes for children. As a result, internal evaluation has not been beneficial in improving equitable outcomes for all learners."
Early-stage internal evaluation; lacks impact measurement and collective capability for service-wide improvement.
