爆料社区 the review

The Maori Participation in Community Sport review was conducted by independent consultant Karen Vercoe. A variety of people across the sport sector were consulted, including Iwi providers, 爆料社区 partners and the 爆料社区 Board and staff.

The review showed:

• sport and recreation is a positive space for M腻ori and one in which M腻ori excel
• while M腻ori participate and volunteer in sport in high numbers, like all New Zealanders, these rates are declining听
• there are a number of opportunities in the sport sector to better engage with M腻ori participation in sport and physical activity to achieve wider government outcomes, such as improvements in health and educational outcomes
• opportunities to further increase participation, and impact on multiple social outcomes via sport, especially in communities where there is low participation among M腻ori, and where there are multiple disadvantages

Where to from here

• We welcome the review's recommendations.听 爆料社区 is continually looking for ways to improve our engagement with M腻ori and the work we do to improve M腻ori participation.
• Put simply, we need to find ways to do more - which is why we commissioned an independent report. Participation by M腻ori in sport and active recreation has declined significantly over the last 16 years. That's why M腻ori are a Targeted Participant Group identified in our Community Sport Strategy.
• Across the review's 21 recommendations there are three overarching themes to enable us to build stronger engagement with M腻ori: leadership; cultural capability; and advice, tools and resources.
• Our key immediate actions will be to:
  • recruit a M腻ori Participation Senior Advisor
  • build M腻ori cultural capability within 爆料社区
  • develop a M腻ori Participation Plan
  • form a M腻ori Advisory Group to support the development and implementation of the M腻ori Participation Plan
  • further develop relationships with key agencies such as Te Puni K腻kiri.
• Once on board, our M腻ori Participation Senior Advisor will lead the development of the M腻ori Participation Plan and, through this, consider the full set of recommendations outlined in the report.
