TESTIMONIALS

“Kaitiaki are experts in abuse and family violence research. Their collaborative approach to research and evaluation is highly valued by Women’s Refuge. As a women’s movement securing researchers that are sensitive to the needs of our women and organisational values is always a difficult find. Kaitiaki are leaders in sensitive topic research and evaluation, they demonstrate the unique quality of being researchers and evaluators who deliver work that effectively informs our policy and organisation strategy.”

“Kaitiaki has been responsive to our, at times, challenging and unique needs. They have consistently impressed us with the development of innovative and practical evaluation and research approaches. Above all I highly value their participatory approach to their work. Their work is comprehensive and timely and it can readily be developed into solutions that address the findings from their research”.

“Kaitaki’s ability to hear what we wanted was incredible. They were able to frame our needs in an incredibly insightful way. We have also been consistently impressed with Kaitiaki’s consultative approach. The research Kaitiaki did for NZPC was of an extremely high standard and we have been able to present it across all levels of government, non-‐government organisations and internationally”.

“Kaitiaki delivered much more than a research report on stopping family violence. Michael connected to the lives of those he interviewed, he listened and heard their story, portraying it back with heart and insight. Every stage of the project was delivered on time and well researched”.
