• <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> development and implementati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a relati<strong>on</strong>al approach to<br />

8.3 Transiti<strong>on</strong>al Approach for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Trust<br />
8.3.1 Due to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> wide-ranging nature <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> functi<strong>on</strong>s we have identified for<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Trust and <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> level <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> change <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>y involve, we do not envisage <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Trust<br />
will be able to fully effect all <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>se functi<strong>on</strong>s when it is first established.<br />
Full functi<strong>on</strong>ality will occur over time.<br />
8.3.2 We propose <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> initial focus <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Trust, as <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 1 July 2010, should be to:<br />
• focus <strong>on</strong> best outcomes for whānau<br />
• identify pathways that will enable whānau to be self-determining<br />
• establish sound governance, accountabilities, management and<br />
operati<strong>on</strong>al processes as specified in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Trust Deed<br />
• establish relati<strong>on</strong>ships and communicate with whānau, providers<br />
and agencies<br />
• establish <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> regi<strong>on</strong>al panels<br />
• work with first phase providers to facilitate Whānau <str<strong>on</strong>g>Ora</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>tracting and<br />
delivery (<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Taskforce</str<strong>on</strong>g> supports <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>cept <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a single Whānau <str<strong>on</strong>g>Ora</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
c<strong>on</strong>tract for providers involved in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> first phase, which requires a single<br />
report from providers <strong>on</strong> achievement towards Whānau <str<strong>on</strong>g>Ora</str<strong>on</strong>g> outcomes)<br />
• fur<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r develop m<strong>on</strong>itoring and evaluati<strong>on</strong> measures and facilitate<br />
participatory acti<strong>on</strong> research<br />
• work with agencies to undertake development necessary to fully<br />
implement this visi<strong>on</strong><br />
• avoid <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> creati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> multiple small-scale providers while simultaneously<br />
being open to funding some innovative small-scale providers in urban and<br />
rural localities<br />
• develop and implement a process for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> selecti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> providers for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
sec<strong>on</strong>d phase <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> implementati<strong>on</strong>, and engage with <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>se providers<br />
(regi<strong>on</strong>al input will be important for selecting providers)<br />
• identify and resource provider capacity and capability needs to achieve<br />
best outcomes for whānau.<br />
8.3.3 In additi<strong>on</strong>, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Trust could immediately begin work <strong>on</strong> building <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> capacity<br />
required to lead <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> implementati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Whānau <str<strong>on</strong>g>Ora</str<strong>on</strong>g> through <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> guidance <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
regi<strong>on</strong>al panels. This work could include:<br />
• overseeing <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> regi<strong>on</strong>al panels<br />
• providing leadership and coordinati<strong>on</strong> across agencies that have<br />
resp<strong>on</strong>sibilities for whānau wellbeing, including <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Trust chief executive’s<br />
group <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> social sector chief executives<br />
