5 1. Creating a safe Tairāwhiti (image taken from ) Safe people, Safe places, Safe Tairāwhiti 1.1. The Values and Principles This strategy is built on the three core values promoted by the Safe Communities Foundation (New Zealand). These are: 1. Safety is a fundamental human right 2. People are at the heart of making communities safer places in which to live, work, learn, travel and play; and 3. Everybody has a responsibility to promote & maintain their safety and the safety of others. The Tairāwhiti Safe Communities Strategy is aligned to the Safe Communities Foundation Strategic Intent that aims for a safe New Zealand injury free Strategic Outcomes and Objectives The Safe Communities Strategy provides the foundation and framework to support the activities of the Safe Tairāwhiti Community Trust (STCT) over the next 5 years. It provides long term direction and focus to inform STCT Annual Plans and to help each priority area working party identify and focus on priority activities each year. Strategic Outcomes To achieve a safe Tairāwhiti, STCT aim to work towards reducing: - the amount of crime and criminal activity across the Tairāwhiti region - the number of accidental and intentional injuries and fatalities in Tairāwhiti, and - the number of alcohol and drug related illnesses, injuries and related incidents in the Tairāwhiti region. Objectives STCT will do this through application of the International Safe Communities framework across the following objectives: - increasing preventative programmes and measures that keep our community safe - building and promoting a culture where people of Tairāwhiti think safe and act safe n Page 1

6 - collaborating with other like-minded organisations and community groups to achieve a safe Tairāwhiti involving whanau, marae and hapu/ community in programmes, and - activities that make Tairāwhiti a safe place to live, work and play 1.3. The Approach Within the context of STCT, three working parties will be established to focus on activity related to each priority area. Each working party will have an appointed coordinator who will provide feedback to the full SCTC on a regular basis regarding the working group s activities and progress. While there will be three working parties, each with a focus on one particular priority area, it is recognised that there are a number of overlaps between the priority areas and it is expected that activities between the groups will often interact and involve many of the same people. It will be important for the working parties to communicate regularly to the wider group on their activities to ensure they do not duplicate each others efforts and maximise the use of available resources. A communication plan will be developed by SCTC to ensure open and regular communication exists between the working parties and across the wider group. Crime Prevention Working Group Safe Tairāwhiti Community Trust Injury Prevention Working Group Alcohol and Other Drugs Intervention It is expected that each group will formally review its annual work programme, priorities and actions on an annual basis. n Page 2

7 2. Context The purpose of this section is to provide background and context for the Safe Communities Strategy. 2.1 Background Tairāwhiti encompasses the East Coast region north of Wairoa up to Hicks Bay out west across to Matawai. Gisborne City is the main urban centre in the Tairāwhiti region. In 1994 the Tairāwhiti region was included in a pilot programme for Indigenous Safe Communities in New Zealand. Since that time our stakeholders have remained committed to improving safety outcomes for both our tangata whenua and the wider community. In 2008 a meeting was held with six agencies and individuals with an interest in creating a collaborative approach to safety and crime prevention in Tairāwhiti. The opportunity to become accredited as an International Safe Community was considered at this meeting. Dr Carolyn Coggan Director of Safe Communities Foundation NZ (SCFNZ) was invited to present the World Health Organisation (WHO) Safe Community concept that recognises safety as a universal concern and responsibility for all. Over the last three years there has been a concerted effort to bring together groups already working in collaboration to promote safety and reduce crime in our region. Participation in STCT has allowed the members to be more focused and coordinated leading to accreditation as a member of the International Safe Communities Network. The WHO International Safe Communities model provides an approach to injury prevention and safety promotion that is consistent with our values of partnership and collaboration. The purpose of this strategy is to build a long term plan within the framework of the International Safe Communities model that is relevant and appropriate for Tairāwhiti, covering the three priority areas of Crime Prevention, Injury Prevention, and Alcohol and Other Drugs Intervention. Crime and injury have a major impact on the safety and wellbeing of our families, communities and society. Death, injury and violence caused through accidents, criminal and anti-social behaviour comes at a high cost socially and economically yet most injuries and crime are preventable. Alcohol and other drugs are an underlying causal factor in each of these areas and need to be considered as part of this plan. 2.2 Safe Tairāwhiti Community an International Safe Community STCT gained status as an International Safe Community in September 2011 with the formal signing occurring on 28 February Accreditation requires STCT to implement a collaborative inter-agency approach to promoting safety and tackling the risks to safety in the community. By becoming an International Safe Community, Tairāwhiti has demonstrated that it has met the six following criteria: - STCT has an infrastructure based on partnership and collaborations, governed by a cross-sectional group that is responsible for safety promotion in their community. n Page 3

8 - Long-term, sustainable programmes covering both genders and all ages, environments, and situations are in place. - STCT has programmes in place that target high-risk groups and environments, and programmes that promote safety for vulnerable groups. - STCT has programmes in place that document the frequency and causes of injuries. - STCT has developed evaluation measures to assess programmes, processes and effects of changes. - STCT promotes and encourages ongoing participation in national and international Safe Communities networks. This strategy builds on accreditation by putting in place long term plans that continue to improve how the organisations involved are working towards achieving a shared vision. A clear vision and goals will help to focus programme development and delivery and provide a framework for transparency, accountability and measureable outcomes. 2.3 Challenges and Strengths The socio-economic profile of the district paints a poor picture of Tairāwhiti compared to other parts of the country with Maori over-represented in poorer socio-economic groups. Just under half of the total population (47.5%) live within deciles 9 and % of the Maori population live within deciles 9 and 10 and 86% for Pacific peoples living in this district (Source: Tairāwhiti District Health). There is national evidence highlighting the link between high levels of deprivation and poor outcomes in areas of health, education, employment and justice. The challenges of inequity need to be factored into solutions to address the incidence and impact of injury and crime. Additional demographic and statistical data related to safety and injury can be found in Section 7 of this Strategy. Despite the social and economic challenges, the strength of the district lies with its people. The energy and pride of the locals is evident in the active and vibrant communities connecting the district. The people of Tairāwhiti continue to achieve success in many fields on national and international levels. 2.4 Who is Safe Tairāwhiti Community Trust? STCT is made up of a range of organisations that deliver a number of services and programmes contributing towards a safe Tairāwhiti. STCT provides an opportunity for members to align strategic planning and coordinate their efforts, resourcing and funding to achieve shared outcomes designed to tackle the priority issues that affect the communities of Tairāwhiti. n Page 4

10 3. Priority Areas and Goals for a Safe Tairāwhiti This section contains long term plans for each priority area that will help to inform the annual planning, and ensure that pragmatic coordinated action is taken to work towards achieving the strategic outcomes and objectives set out in the previous section. These long term action plans will align with the annual work plans for each priority area. It can be seen that based on the information provided in each area below most issues relating to each area have been identified and are being addressed in some way, at least by one organisation. However there are still a number of questions that need to be asked that apply to all priority areas: - What programmes are operating around each of these areas? - Are they duplicating work being done by other organisations or in other areas? - Are they effective that is are they achieving results-based, measurable outcomes? - Are they relevant and appropriate for our community (or roll out of central/ national programmes that have to be done)? The aim is that over the next 12 months STCT and its working groups will work on answering these questions to provide a clear picture of the current state and identify where there are gaps that need addressing, and how best to address these based on the resources available. 3.1 Crime Prevention If our community wants to make a real reduction in the incidents and effects of crime then Crime Prevention has to be a clear priority. There needs to be a problem solving approach taken to dealing with issues that targets the root causes of crime and behaviour rather then the symptoms. Problem solving provides all those involved with crime issues to have robust data collection and analysis to provide effective and sustainable solutions. There are three cornerstones required to support programmes aimed at reducing crime. These are: - Central Government Legislation and Policy: currently new legislation is being developed that places more emphasis on addressing the needs of the victims of crime. - Interagency collaboration and partnership - Community collaboration and participation: Providing opportunities for communities to be self -reliant and caring for their neighbours is also another corner stone of an effective crime preventions strategy. The programmes and activities carried out to address crime often link to other programmes in other priority areas. For example alcohol and drugs have a major impact on crime particularly in relation to violence both in the home and in public places which in turn links to injury prevention. To be truly effective it is important that links between the programmes are identified and built on, strengthening the outcomes for all areas. n Page 6

11 3.1.1 Current Activity/ Programmes Aimed at Reducing Crime There are already a number of activities and programmes being carried out by a variety of agencies and organisations across our communities that aim at reducing incidents of crime in Tairāwhiti. The table below shows what specific areas of crime are being addressed and the agencies/organisations that support these programmes and initiatives.
