Cultural Assessments

SPECIALIST MAORI CULTURAL ASSESSMENT SERVICE

Our Specialist Maori Cultural Assessment Service (SMCA) aim to improve outcomes for Maori offenders by connecting them with their cultural links and whanau networks to motivate them to address re-offending.

Our Cultural Assessor will build a rapport with the offender to assess their cultural well-being as Maori, and identify areas where cultural interventions may help address re-offending.

Where?

We currently facilitate these services in the following locations:

• Waikeria Prison
• Hamilton Community
• Thames Community
• Spring Hill Corrections Facility
