Whakapapa Of Enabling Good Lives
Direct independent guidance
Dame Tariana Turia was Minister for Disability Issues between 2009 – 2014. Before and after the initial Enabling Good Lives Report (2011), direct independent guidance from leaders within the disability sector, to the Minister for Disability Issues was a strong feature of the initial development of the EGL approach.
