"Whānau have maintained systems to manage the kōhanga reo, with responsibilities shared to ensure they are collectively carried out. Monthly whānau hui minutes provide valuable insights, and operational matters are clearly defined through structured reporting. This includes regular financial updates and information about mokopuna learning, which supports consistent whānau engagement, transparency, and accountability."

"Whānau and kaimahi are not currently meeting their child protection obligations. A robust process must be urgently established to ensure all kaimahi are safety checked in accordance with the Childrens Act 2014 and receive appropriate child protection training to strengthen their understanding of the Act and implications this has on their mahi with mokopuna. Mokopuna safety and wellbeing is compromised."
Critical non-compliance: child protection obligations unmet, safety checks incomplete, training lacking
"The Strategic Plan is informed by Te Ara Tūāpae, which embodies whānau aspirations for mokopuna. It identifies long and short-term priorities and supports goal setting and future planning. There is a sustained focus on continual growth and improvement, including whānau participation, increasing te reo Māori capacity, and promoting te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. The action plan outlines specific tasks and delegates responsibilities to support progress, while the annual plan ensures administrative responsibilities are well managed and priorities addressed efficiently."
