ANZASW wishes to place on record its appreciation of Metiria Turei’s contribution

The Aotearoa New Zealand Association of Social Workers wishes to place on record its appreciation of Metiria Turei’s contribution, both at the political and grassroots level. Throughout her 15 years in Parliament Metiria has been an advocate for the needs and rights of the most vulnerable people in our communities, especially children.

We thank her for her contributions on behalf of people and communities who use social work services, and wish her well for her future endeavours.
