The authors are asking the Social Wellbeing Board to be bold and to act on commitments past and present to a significantly more devolved delivery of social services in Te Tairāwhiti.

The first step is to resource the co-design of four feasibility studies to create the detailed plan of how devolution would work in child wellbeing, Whānau Ora, housing, and the Tairāwhiti
Social Development Leadership Board. If we take these steps, intergenerational harm and persistent disadvantage could be transformed into intergenerational mauri ora. (From the report). Record #8522
