CAT/OP/NZL/1/Add.1 Youth justice residences 116. The Subcommittee has asked about Māori literacy programmes in Youth Justice residences. The Youth Justice residential schools adhere to Te reo Māori, which has a special place in the New Zealand Curriculum. Eight curriculum principles underpin curriculum decision making in New Zealand, and one of these principles is headed “Treaty of Waitangi”. Te reo Māori is included in learning languages, which is one of the eight learning areas in the curriculum. 117. Ka Hikitia was launched in 2008. It is an education strategy designed to ensure that all Māori students have the opportunity to realise their potential. There are two mainstream schools and one other education provider delivering education services in the four Youth Justice residences. These residential schools are responsible for leading and supporting the changes that will allow Māori students to achieve education success as Māori. Changes are already underway through integration of Māori language and culture across the curriculum and school, increasing the number of Māori staff, and promoting Māori role models. 118. Within the structured day of the Youth Justice residences, Child, Youth and Family continue to develop Te Ao Māori based programming. These programmes support young people to develop their sense of identity, belonging, cultural connectedness and Māori literacy. 119. A new Māori assessment tool, “Profile for Potential” is being developed in collaboration with one of New Zealand’s leader’s in Māori mental health. The tool is aimed at identifying potential and developing a plan (Interactive programme) which will allow the potential of each young person to flourish. The process is led by a Māori mentor who will create the Te Ao Māori space and attempt to reconnect our Māori young people with their heritage. E. Military institutions Devonport Naval Base Corrective Cells, Royal New Zealand Navy 120. The Subcommittee recommended that New Zealand ensure records are properly kept at the premises of a Naval Base and are readily available for inspection by monitoring bodies. The RNZN has confirmed that all records of detention are maintained by the Fleet Naval Police Officer at HMNZS Philomel and will be readily available for inspection by monitoring bodies. 121. Incidences of detention onboard HMNZ Ships are rare. Records show that four personnel (all members of the New Zealand armed forces) have been detained at sea over the last five years — the maximum length of detention at sea was four days. Arrest and detention of members of the New Zealand armed forces, including those detained at sea, is in accordance with the Armed Forces Discipline Act 1971, the Commanders Handbook on Military Law (DM69 Vol 1), and applicable Orders. Formal training for the Officer of the Day (duty officer) role is undertaken, reinforced, and examined during on the job training in the specific context of each Ship. 122. In relation to foreign captured personnel, the NZDF follows NATO doctrine concerning detention, namely Allied Joint Publication 2.5(A), which contains specific policy guidance on detention at sea. In addition, Standard Operating Procedures are developed for specific operational deployments of RNZN Ships. No individual has been detained at sea in respect of any operational deployment in the last five years. 20
