Kaitiakitanga Supervision Network

Nau mai, haere mai!
A warm welcome to all those with a heart for Kaitiakitanga and Supervision. E te whānau whanui, haere mai. To those of you who have worked in this space for many years, and to those of you just starting to explore, haere mai. We have formed a network, one founded 'i te timatanga', from the beginning, on honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and a commitment to living and working biculturally in Aotearoa. This conversation began in 2024 with a diverse community linked by the Bible and Treaty facebook page, discussing 'Decolonising Supervision', and has grown as others have connected in. This web page is created by Silvia Purdie, as a way to draw together the many threads and enable inclusive and informed discussion. Please email Silvia if you have any suggestions, or material to add in: [email protected] He aha tēnei? What is Supervision?
Ko te Kaitiakitanga he momo mana hei hāpai ake te mana o tēnā, o tēnā. Supervision is a form of leadership that seeks to raise up the leadership of others. Sign up to receive email updates |

(Journal of Samoan Studies, 2021) by Rasela Tufue-Dolgoy "a snapshot of how supervision is applied in Samoa from the teacher supervisors’ perspective [and] discussion on the notion of cultural relativism as it relates to supervision within the Samoan context" ... "the very hierarchical nature of the Samoan culture has greatly influenced individuals’ paradigms and mindset as reflected in this authoritarian approach, and changing one’s cultural values and belief system is not always an easy." journalofsamoanstudies.ws/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/JSS_Vol11_No2_2021-Teacher-Supervision-A-Dilemma-for-Samoa-The-Issue-of-Cultural-Relativity-in-the-Supervision-Literature.pdf ‘Vā’ Spaces Fostering a Communal Model of Supervision in a Cross-Cultural Setting, by Kamaloni Tu’iono (Doctor of Ministry thesis) "The relational space for Pasifika or moana communities is the vā. ... but a space that relates, that holds separate entities and thingsto gether. In order to have an effective understanding of this space, we must first seek to understand the role of the vā in a Pacific worldview.

The Whanaketia report: a) specifically recommends professional independent supervision for all those in faith-based contexts who work with children Recommendation 96 of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care (Whaneketia, Part 9, Chapter 6): "All faith-based entities should ensure that all people in religious or pastoral ministry, including religious leaders, have professional supervision with a trained professional or pastoral supervisor who has a degree of independence from the institution within which the person is in ministry." https://www.abuseincare.org.nz/reports/whanaketia/part-9/chapter-6/ b) strongly advocates for professional registration for those working with children, and those supporting kaimahi (Part 9, Chapter 5): Me rēhita ngā kaimahi me ngā kaiārahi Staff and care workers must be registered 346. "It is critical to ensure all staff and care workers are covered by an appropriate registration scheme. It also provides an additional safeguard to prevent abusers from working with children, young people and adults in care. A consistent system of professional registration will also better enable the provision of specialised support, education, training and professional development opportunities to for staff to work effectively, provide safe care environments and improve career satisfaction." While this does not specifically require that professional supervisors belong to a professional body, it is a strong signal that this is the direction that the sector as a whole is moving. |
