"Aspects of governance require strengthening. It is important for the whānau to formalise the governance structure and appoint members to the board of trustees to utilise the collective knowledge and expertise amongst whānau. Furthermore, although they have a current strategic plan, it is time to review and update the strategic direction to further enhance positive outcomes for tamariki."
Governance structure informal; strategic plan requires review and update; strengthening needed.
