Welcoming Communities Standard

By Welcoming Communities, Immigration New Zealand

The communities, councils, and agencies involved in Welcoming Communities (New Zealand) co-designed the Standard together. New Zealanders also had input through a nation-wide consultation in 2017. The Standard enables the participating councils to benchmark their policies, services, programmes and activities; identify where and how further efforts could be directed through their Welcoming Plan activities; assess progress over time; and seek accreditation as a ‘Welcoming Community’.” You can read more about this document and Welcoming Communities’ work here.
