impact on the lives of victims of abuse, particularly in terms of safety. We do not simply continue to improve our own services. Perhaps more importantly, we aim to make a significant contribution to the spread of ideas about what works to other parts of the country and beyond. As we've grown, our ability to make an impact on a larger scale has also grown, hence we have become more effective at spreading new ideas. We can and do now contribute in this way in New Zealand and also internationally. We do this by delivering seminars and training for professionals, undertaking research, producing how-to manuals, making policy submissions, supporting other New Zealand organisations, hosting overseas delegations, delivering our message and ideas through the media, and so on. It is also clear to us that what works to stop domestic abuse often involves working in partnership with other organizations -- both government agencies and community organizations. Developing these partnerships is a key component of achieving our mission. We take very seriously our commitment to Te Tiriti O Waitangi (the Treaty of Waitangi), and see this commitment as being very complementary to our Vision, Values and Mission. In other words, we believe that by actively honouring Te Tiriti, we will provide a better service for M?ori clients. We do this through ongoing implementation of our M?ori Strategy, and with the guidance and assistance of our Te Roopu Ohomairangi (Shine's M?ori Advisory Group).
