The programme provides an alternative resolution path where community leaders support participants to account for their offending and help them to make a plan to put things right. Those plans include restorative actions that participants must complete and conditions they must follow. It is a really big step when you have to, one, go on to a marae and be accountable not only for your actions but also be accountable to your aunties, to your marae leaders, and to your community leaders for the offending that you have done—so, first of all, they have to take account for their actions. Two, they have to take account for their actions in front of their community leaders, and then, three, they work through a plan to make sure they stop that reoffending, and, again, it has stopped that reoffending by 22 percent. So by understanding that what works for Māori works for everyone, Te Pae Oranga is a key enabler of a more humane criminal justice system through delivering tikanga Māori restorative justice services focused on accountability, education, and preventing of reoffending.
