Changing the trajectory

Our new research report, Changing the Trajectory has just been released.

https://www.standtumaia.nz/s/Changing-the-Trajectory-Report-April-2025.pdf

We commissioned this report to facilitate discussion about a sustainable and effective funding and delivery framework for Aotearoa New Zealand’s social service provider sector.

It shows that adopting neuroscience advances, underpinned by data science and strong values, would make a significant difference to the tens of thousands of the most vulnerable children living in New Zealand, and deliver much better value for money in social services.

As our Board Chair David Boyle says: “Aotearoa New Zealand has a golden opportunity to drastically improve the lives of significantly at-risk children, and to get better value for money from investment in social services”.

We encourage you to read the report and share it widely.
