Did you know??

That cultural safety has been in place in New Zealand for over 20 years and Irihapeti Merenia Ramsden one of the instigators of this. If you are interested in finding out more about the history of Cultural Safety in New Zealand, which has a strong bias for indiginous people then take a look at this article http://culturalsafety.massey.ac.nz/

If you think you alone cant make a difference, just look at what Irihapeti did. She has moved mountains. Now it is time for us continue her good work but to include all cultures, including pakeha New Zealanders. We have our own culture too that needs to be recognised.
