Ko te Hōtaka Mātauranga Atekōkiri Hōu (NDEP), he mahi tōtahi i waenganui i a NZTA me ACC. Mai i te tīmatatanga, i pōhēhē te tīma kaupapa kia hoahoatia te hōtaka ki tētahi arotahi kaiwhakamahi kāore i te whakararuraru.
Ko te whāinga matua o te kaupapa ko te whakaora ora i runga i nga huarahi o Aotearoa. Ko te poto he waihanga tahi i tētahi pūkenga whakauru ki ngā kaiwhakamahi, kia whakamōhiotia ai ki a rātou mō ā rātou whakaritenga.
He maha nga wātū whakauru kaiwhakamahi i whakahaeretia ki te taitamariki o Kiwi mai i Aotearoa ki te whakamōhio atu ki te hoahoa o te parani. I whakamātauria katoatia nga wae o te parani ki to mātau taitamariki kiwimātakitaki — mai i te ingoa o te kaupapa ki te reo o te parani. I runga i te āhua o ngā mea whakararuraru, kāore i te mōhiotia ko te karere auau e puta mai ana i ēnei wātū ko te 'kōrero māmā, kaua ahau e rongo i te heahea'.
Hei urupare ki te take o te whiwhinga o ngā Tamariki tamariki i to rātau raihana, kātahi ka ngaro i ngā mea katoa i akona e rātau - he tikanga mārama, hinengaro kotahi i hangaia ai te ariā uho o te 'Pū Puku Iti'. I whakatūria e Te Puku Inner te parani hei whakahau i ngā atekōkiri rangatahi katoa kia pai ake ai. Ka whakamaharatia rātau ko te whiwhinga o to rātau raihana ko te tīmatanga noa iho.
