Kingswood Healthcare uses the double vowel instead of the macron in all te reo Maaori written communication. Because Kingswood Healthcare offers services that are located and delivered within the boundary of the Waikato-Tainui Iwi; it is important that the organisation adheres to the language differences of this Iwi area. The language strategy and tikanga (protocol) of Kingswood Healthcare is guided by our Staff and Translators. This is why you will see the following words, as examples, used in our written communication – for example, whaanau instead of whānau (family).
