Issues papers

Issues papers are documents written about a particular topic or thematic area. People and organisations are asked to submit feedback or truth telling in response to what is in the issues paper. 

Truth-telling forums

Truth-telling forums are less formal opportunities to tell your truth. They may be events such as a yarning circles or workshops, round tables, cultural site or community visits.

We will advertise these events on the website when they are scheduled.
