FAQ

• What is the NWŌ Survey?

  The NWŌ survey includes a range of different questions that ask about the current cultural, social, economic, health & wellbeing status of you and your whānau.

  Survey responses will be collected and analysed. From this data an in-depth report of findings will be created and shared with whānau. These findings will contribute to growing our understanding of the tribe so we can better develop programmes and services that cater to the needs of our people. It will also help us understand how we best make decisions about our assets.

  Surveys are to be completed individually by registered members. Help us craft the future of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei.

• Who will be analysing the data collected in the NWŌ Survey?

  This is an iwi driven, and iwi directed project, because it is all about us, and for us, the people of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, our health, our wellbeing and ultimately our future. 

  We have a team of researchers from Koi Tū: The Centre for Informed Futures supporting us. For more information on Koi Tū click here.

  The NWŌ Survey will be conducted with rigorous ethical consideration and oversight from the iwi and from the University of Auckland, that ensures the utmost respect, privacy, and safety of all those of the iwi participating. 

• What will happen with the information collected?

  Before we can start to think about how to improve the health and wellbeing of all iwi members, we need to start with a better understanding of how things are at the moment. We therefore want to gather as much information as we can on a wide range of measures. This data collection and analysis phase of our the survey has 2 main stages:

  Stage 1: Stocktake and analysis of existing data

  We will start by pulling together all of the data that Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei already collects, assessing what we can learn from it, and identifying what further information would be helpful. 

  Stage 2: Further information collection 

  We will then look to fill in any gaps identified in stage 1. This will involve drawing on data collected by government agencies, such as through the census. 

• Protecting your privacy

  Together we want to ensure the best for the iwi: that the survey aligns with our own tikanga principles, as well as the iwi goals and aspirations. 

  The research will be conducted with rigorous ethical consideration and oversight from the iwi and from Koi Tū, that ensures the utmost respect, privacy, and safety of all those of the iwi participating directly in the survey.

  We understand how sensitive this data is, and how important it is to use it appropriately and protect your privacy. None of the data we analyse will include names or contact details of individuals. Access to the data will be limited to the members of the research team. Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei will retain sovereignty and ownership of all the data collected and the results of our analysis.
