Currently New Zealand's Police attend up to 500 family harm incidents every day. Children are present at 75% of these reported incidents.
Te Mana ō tātou Tamariki - Kōrero Pono - The power of our children - Speaking truth
While each experience of family harm is unique, responding effectively to it is a multi faceted process. Therefore our work is based within the circle of relationships that involve teachers and students of Years 5-8 in schools and the families of the students. We engage with Tangata Whenua and the social services which support the schools including Police, Health, Counselling, Oranga Tamaraiki as well as other local agencies. The complexity of issues brought up in preventing violence requires complex responses, which means schools need the fullest community support possible when teachers commit to facilitating the Jade Speaks Up programme in their classrooms.
