Dear New Zealand Defence Force,
I am currently undertaking research related to Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Maori Language Week), and te reo Maori capacity across organisations.
Can you please provide the following information:
a. Does your organisation have legal responsibilities under the Treaty of Waitangi?
b. Does your organisation have legal responsibilities to engage with te reo Maori in some way or another? Does your organisation have a duty (such as in its charter, or its empowering legislation) to reflect New Zealand's cultural identity?
c. Does your organisation have a formal policy, strategy, or commitment, relating to te reo Maori ability and proficiency for staff? (If so, can you please provide a copy of it)?
d. Does your organisation have a policy on diversity and inclusion? (If so, can you please provide a copy of it)?
e. How many staff in your organisation are recorded as being fluent in te reo Maori?
f. Has your organisation provided any te reo Maori lessons or education to staff in the past 12 months? (If so, how many staff has it provided those to, and what was the format of the lessons?)
g. Does your organisation have any te reo Maori lessons or education scheduled to be provided to staff in upcoming 12 months? (If so, how many staff does it intend to provide those to?)
h How many personnel does your organisation currently engage? (Please include full-time staff, part-time, employees, and volunteers)
i. Does your organisation have any personnel who manage the relationships between your organisation and Maori communities? (If so, how many personnel are engaged for that purpose?)
Yours faithfully,
Alanah T
