Like many others, we had very little time to plan and prepare for the pandemic. Still, our team, supported by a network of volunteers across the rohe, were able to act quickly to support our people with their specific needs during COVID-19, particularly our kaumātua and at-risk members.
Now, as we adjust to life under Alert Level 2, we’d like to get your feedback on our COVID-19 Response over the past few months. To this end, we have created a short questionnaire for you to fill out. Your feedback will help us assess our response and note any improvements that could be done should a similar scenario eventuate in the future.
Please take a few moments to complete this questionnaire. Note, it can be completed anonymously. However, if you would like to enter our draw to receive 5x $100 grocery vouchers, please include your contact details when completing the questionnaire. The questionnaire will close on Friday 5 June at 4pm.
There are several ways you can complete the questionnaire:
- Online: Fill out the online version here.
- Email: Download the form here, and scan and email it back to us, or simply, send us a quick email with your answers to the below questions: info@ngatirangitihi.iwi.nz
- Drop off: Print off the form here and drop off completed forms at our office at 30 Arawa Street, Matatā.
- Via phone: If you’d prefer to complete the questionnaire via phone, our friendly staff can ring you. Let us know by emailing us at info@ngatirangitihi.iwi.nz.
