FERNZ Policy Research
Ignite Consultants · Wellington, NZ
Co-developed a stakeholder-ready consulting info pack for FERNZ, translating research on health and wellbeing inequities into clear recommendations for advocacy and outreach.
FERNZ needed a research-backed way to understand the health and wellbeing inequities affecting rainbow communities in Aotearoa New Zealand. The organization needed a concise, credible resource it could use to support advocacy, stakeholder conversations, and future recommendation-setting.
As part of a 9-week Ignite Consultants engagement in Wellington, Taylor co-developed an environmental scan spanning education, healthcare, intersectionality, workplace, and disability. The work combined policy analysis, source synthesis, visual storytelling, and recommendation development into a polished 36-page info pack FERNZ could use with external stakeholders.
- Co-authored a 36-page client-facing info pack
- Synthesized research across 5 issue areas affecting rainbow communities in Aotearoa
- Presented data-driven recommendations to 7 health authorities and government ministries
- Delivered a reusable advocacy resource grounded in policy and statistical research
