What must the Council do to support the principle of self-determination?

Maintain strict control over services
Work independently from iwi/Māori
Collaborate with partners in design and delivery
Focus solely on legal compliance

The correct answer is: Collaborate with partners in design and delivery

The principle of self-determination emphasizes the autonomy and empowerment of individuals or communities in making decisions that affect their lives. To effectively support this principle, collaboration is essential. By working together with partners in the design and delivery of services, the Council acknowledges the knowledge, expertise, and unique perspectives of those it serves, particularly iwi/Māori communities. This partnership fosters trust, ensures that services are culturally relevant and aligned with the needs of the community, and supports a more empowered stance where individuals feel their voices are heard and valued. Maintaining strict control over services undermines self-determination, as it limits the ability of communities to influence decision-making processes that affect them. Working independently from iwi/Māori contradicts the collaborative spirit that self-determination embodies. Focusing solely on legal compliance might ensure that certain regulations are met, but it does not promote the empowerment or engagement necessary for genuine self-determination. Instead, the focus should be on building partnerships and encouraging local input and leadership in the services provided.
