EGL e mahi ana
He tino uaua te mohio ki te ahua o te tirohanga me nga Maapono EGL i roto i te oranga o te hunga haua me o ratau whanau/whānau. I roto i te pouaka i raro nei, ka kite koe i nga mea i pa ki te hunga haua, katahi ka whakataurite ki te ahua o te whakamahi i te EGL Vision and Principles.
Nga huarahi tawhito me te tirohanga EGL
Aromatawai i runga i nga mea kaore e taea e te tangata te mahi (i runga i te takarepa)
Ko nga tautoko me nga ratonga e arahina ana e nga hiahia, nga kaha, nga wawata, me nga hiahia o te hunga haua me o ratau whanau. Kua tuhia enei ki te Mahere Ora Pai ka taea te whakamahi e nga ratonga maha me nga tautoko
Te "ngaro" i roto i te punaha, kaore ranei i te mohio ki nga whiringa
Ko nga tangata he hoa rangatira motuhake hei awhina i te hunga haua me te whanau/Whānau ki te whai whakaaro ki nga whiringa o naianei me te hanga huarahi hou.” Ko te kaha o te whai waahi o te tangata takitahi, o te whanau ranei ki tenei hoa motuhake ka whiriwhiria i waenga i nga roopu.
I te wa i whakamatauria ai te whakarereketanga o te punaha-a-EGL ka kiia tenei mahi ko Kaitūhono, he Kaihono ranei.
Putea nui mo nga ratonga
Ko nga putea whaiaro kei te tangata te mana whakahaere mo te waahi ka taea e te tangata te whiriwhiri me pehea e hanga ai he oranga pai mo ratou ake
Me whakamahi noa i nga ratonga motuhake me nga ratonga motuhake
Ko nga ratonga hapori e waatea ana, e waatea ana ki te hunga haua
Tatari kia puta he mate, he raruraru ranei
Ka timata moata me te pakaru o nga huringa
Ka whakatau nga apiha, nga rata, me nga kaiwhakarato ratonga mo te ahua o te punaha
Ka haere nga rauemi ki nga whatunga me nga whakahaere e arahina ana e te hunga haua me nga whanau, na reira ka taea e ratou te hanga pukenga matauranga me nga hononga kia taea ai e ratou te awe tonu i te punaha tautoko hauā me nga tari kawanatanga katoa
Kotahi te punaha maapono puta noa i nga tari kawanatanga katoa
EGL e mahi ana
In Waitaha / Canterbury, the EGL Approach is 'demonstrated' at EGL Christchurch. Here Kaitūhono (Connectors) work with disabled people and their whānau to dream big, make a plan for the future and connect with their local community.
This service is currently only available to ORS funded school leavers in Waitaha/Canterbury. Click here to find out more.
The Enabling Good Lives (EGL) Approach and Principles are to guide all individuals and families have more flexibility to create the supports that they want. Here are some examples.
Principle: Self determination
What this means
Disabled people are in control of their lives
What this looks like for disabled people and whānau/family:
-
supports are directly linked to the vision of what their good / ordinary life looks like
-
there is a way to say how well supports are working, and how they could be working better
-
nothing happens without the disabled person (and whānau/family) giving an opinion first
Principle: Beginning early
What this means
Invest early in families and whānau to support them to;
- be aspirational for their disabled child;
- build community and natural supports;
- support disabled children to become independent, rather than waiting for a crisis before support is available.
What this looks like for disabled people and whānau/family:
-
easily understood information and support is available to help develop a vision for what my "good life" looks like and how to achieve that
-
supports and information are available at different stages of my life
-
supports are planned and regularly reviewed and updated in line with the Good Life plan
Principle: Person centred
What this means
Disabled people have supports that are tailored to their individual needs and goals, and that take a whole life approach rather than being split across programmes.
What this looks like for disabled people and whānau/family
-
individual needs and goals are the first step before choosing supports and services
-
supports and services can be changed easily in line with the persons choice and needs
-
my support people know my goals and preferences and are responsive to them
Example: "I choose my flatmates, not someone else who doesn't even live here choosing them for me."
Principle: Ordinary Life Outcomes
What this means
Disabled people are:
• supported to live an everyday life in everyday places
• regarded as citizens with opportunities for learning, employment, having a home and family, and social participation - like others at similar stages of life.
What this looks like for disabled people and whānau/family
-
supports assist people to be ‘part of’ their community through social participation and relationship building
-
disabled people have the same rights and responsibilities as other New Zealanders.
