Introduction

This has been an unprecedented year with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. It has brought challenges but also opportunities for both Napier residents and Safer Napier. This annual report is an opportunity to celebrate what has happened in the past year and show the impact, range and reach of collaborative safety projects in Napier. Napier City is proud to be an accredited Safe Community and has been accredited since 2010. Safe Communities1 is an international concept that recognises safety as a universal concern and a responsibility for all. It creates ways to increase action on community safety through the building of local partnerships. Safer Napier focuses on injury prevention, crime prevention, road safety, community resilience, addiction related harm, and collaboration. It is an ‘umbrella’ for over 35 initiatives and projects with 43 agencies, organisations and groups as signatories to the Safer Napier Memorandum of Commitment. It contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:  Good health and well-being (targets 3.2, 3.5, 3.6)  Gender equality (targets 5.2, 5.3)  Sustainable cities and communities (targets 11.2, 11.5)  Peace, justice and strong institutions (targets 16.1, 16.2).

As an accredited Safe Community, data analysis, evaluation and priority setting is important. An annual online survey is submitted in August to the Safe Communities Foundation of New Zealand (SCFNZ), see Appendix A, and the programme uses a Results Based Accountability (RBA) framework to measure what difference is being made. This report is for 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020 and covers five case studies, the five goals and a selection of programmes and initiatives.2

“Safer Napier is an excellent example of a community that has adopted the model and structure to support wellbeing, place making, resilience and community safety initiatives. This is a ‘mature’ and effective Safe Community – well led and with the solid backing of council. Your commitment to cross-sector engagement is commended, as is your flexibility in responding to changing priorities as a result of the COVID-19 situation.” Safe Communities Foundation of New Zealand, September 2020

Initiative/Programme Name: Celebrate Safer Napier - Whānau Fun Fest Issue/Population Group Addressed: Keeping our children safe - in the home, outside and on journeys

Families with children under five, especially Māori and Pacific Island whānau and aiga

Goal: Raise awareness of child injury prevention and encourage aiga to make behaviour changes to minimise risk Increase the wider communities’ awareness of Safer Napier and gain community feedback on the main safety issues for Napier Partners:

23 agencies, organisations and groups as listed below. Frequency/Duration:

Held every two years with a different theme.

Data, Information and Story Behind the Data: In New Zealand, unintentional injuries are the third-leading cause of death in children under 145. Under five year olds are at a higher risk of fatal unintentional injuries and over 60% of all under five injuries in New Zealand happen in the home6.

Safety Whare

Initiative/Programme Name: Coffee with a Cop Issue/Population Group Addressed: Crime prevention, increase visibility and accessibility of Police

Suburban industrial, residential and the central business district Goal:

Provide a relaxed environment for the community to interact with Police Officers Partners:

Eastern District Police, Napier City Council and six local cafes. Frequency/Duration:

International annual event supported by Safer Napier for the second time.

Data, Information and Story Behind the Data: Overall victimisations (people who have been a victim of crime) for the year ending 30 June 2018 was 1.5 times higher in Napier than nationally. Feedback from both, Safer Napier partners at the annual workshop and the community at the 2017 Celebrate Safer Napier Day identified more Police, or more accessible or visible Police as one of the top ideas for making Napier safer and preventing crime. Coffee with a Cop was pioneered in California in 2011 and aims to break down barriers between police officers and the community, www.coffeewithacop.com

Evidence reviewed before implementing programme:

(i.e. Provide links to: peer reviewed journal article, national strategy, guidelines on best practice etc.) Research indicates that a single instance of positive contact with a uniformed police officer can substantially improve public attitudes toward police, including legitimacy and willingness to cooperate9. This initiative contributes to the Police vision of ‘Safer Communities Together’. It is an opportunity to demonstrate the national Police ‘prevention first’ operating model which aims to prevent crime before it happens.

Initiative/Programme Name: Hill Hosts, “Ready or Not, here they come” Issue/Population Group Addressed: Emergency readiness, especially earthquake and tsunami preparedness

Napier Hill residents (tsunami evacuation area) Goal:

Increase community led emergency preparedness for Napier Hill Partners: Napier Hill residents, Napier Neighbourhood Support, Hawke’s Bay Civil Defence

Emergency Management and Napier City Council Frequency/Duration:

Started in July 2019, ongoing

Data, Information and Story Behind the Data: The East Coast of New Zealand has a high risk of tsunami because of the subduction zone marked by the Hikurangi Trough. An estimated 15,000 people are expected to evacuate to Napier Hill in a strong or long earthquake and tsunami event as this provides the only area of significantly higher ‘tsunami safe’ ground immediately north of the city centre10. Many of the evacuees will be non-residents of Napier hill and will arrive with no resources. Napier Hill residents are in a crucial position to not only be prepared to keep themselves safe, but also consider the safety and wellbeing of others who will evacuate to high ground.

This project builds on last year’s Shake Out Tsunami Hikoi with over 200 Council staff

(Safer Napier Annual Report 2018/19, Case Study 4).

Evidence reviewed before implementing programme: As per the National Emergency Management Agency, Best Practice Guide, community engagement plays a crucial role in creating a resilient New Zealand. Engagement builds resilience by achieving the following objectives:  Raising awareness of risks and emergency management concerns with the community  Improving coping strategies when a disaster happens  Developing collective and self-efficacy  Building trust between the community and the CDEM sector, and  Empowering the community to manage its risk11.

This project contributes to the National Disaster Resilience Strategy - Rautaki ā-Motu Manawaroa Aituā priority of enabling, empowering, and supporting community resilience. Especially the objectives:  Enable and empower individuals, households, organisations, and businesses to build their resilience, paying particular attention to those people and groups who may be disproportionately affected by disaster  Cultivate an environment for social connectedness which promotes a culture of mutual help; embed a collective impact approach to building community resilience

Initiative/Programme Name: Network of Networks Issue/Population Group Addressed: COVID-19 global pandemic and Hawke’s Bay drought response Older people, disability support, children and young people, migrants, iwi and pasifika, homeless, whānau pounamu, and tourists Goal: During the COVID-19 response identify those most vulnerable and connect them with support rapidly to ensure no one goes without essential items such as food and medicine

Provide support to maintain Alert Level 4 restrictions Partners: 150 organisations coordinated by HBCDEM Frequency/Duration:

March to June 2020

Data, Information and Story Behind the Data: The Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) worldwide pandemic was announced by the World Health Organisation (WHO) on the 11 March 2020.

People were instructed to stay at home in their bubble, other than for essential personal movement12.

At this time Hawke’s Bay was also officially in drought.

Evidence reviewed before implementing programme: The high expectations of public and stakeholders in emergency and disaster management require effective use of resources by collaborative networks13.

The Hawke’s Bay Network of Networks approach contributes to the National Disaster Resilience Strategy - Rautaki ā-Motu Manawaroa Aituā priority of effective response to and recovery from emergencies. Especially the objectives:  Implement measures to ensure that the safety and wellbeing of people is at the heart of the emergency management system  Improve the information and intelligence system that supports decision-making in emergencies to enable informed, timely, and consistent decisions by stakeholders and the public

Initiative/Programme Name: Alcohol free environments Issue/Population Group Addressed: Alcohol related harm, hazardous and binge drinking

Young people, families, women, and those with alcohol dependencies Goal: Promote alcohol free environments through use of the Hawke’s Bay alcohol free brand and the removal of alcohol advertising from public buses and bus stops Partners: Napier City and Hastings District Council’s Joint Alcohol Strategy (JAS) Reference Group; Napier City Council, Hastings District Council, ACC, CAYAD, Directions Youth Health Centre, Hawke’s Bay District Health Board, Health Hawke’s Bay, Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated, Police, Te Kupenga Hauora – Ahuriri, and Te Taiwhenua o Heretaunga. Frequency/Duration:

Ongoing

Data, Information and Story Behind the Data: Hawke’s Bay has one of the highest levels of hazardous drinking in New Zealand and is a ‘high-needs area’ for reducing alcohol-related harm. The Napier and Hastings Councils’ Joint Alcohol Strategy vision is ‘a safe and healthy community, free from alcohol related harm’. Two key actions in the Strategy’s implementation plan is to promote alcohol free events in Hawke’s Bay and investigate removal of alcohol advertising from public buses and bus stops. There is strong evidence of the harm that arises from alcohol advertising, particularly to young people, women, and those with alcohol dependencies. Alcohol advertising reinforces alcohol use as the norm.

Summer Night Fiesta - Alcohol Free Zone

Evidence reviewed before implementing programme: The alcohol free brand contributes to the Health Promotion Agency programme strategic priorities, build social permission for people to drink at low-risk levels or not drink. 80% of New Zealanders support restricting alcohol advertising or promotion that is seen or heard by young people15. Auckland Transport removed alcohol advertising from Auckland Transport infrastructure, facilities, and public transport services from 1

New and accepted ACC entitlement injury claims (serious to moderate injuries) have increased over the past five years and remain above the national rate, as shown in the above graph. In the financial year 2020 (July 2019 to June 2020), the ACC entitlement injury claim rate was 332 per 10,000 people compared to 308 nationally. The Napier ACC injury claim rate for all injuries was 4,370 per 10,000 people compared to 3,845 nationally. For all ACC injury claims in Napier, many occur in the home (62.9%) followed by sport and recreation (18.7%), commercial / service location (8.1%) and road or street (6.4%). Falls remains the main cause of injuries. Other causes include motor vehicle traffic crashes, intentional self-harm and assaults. Older people and children have higher injury rates. Public hospital injury discharge rates for Napier have fluctuated slightly and in 2018 there were 816 of these discharges with a principal diagnosis of injury caused by any intent (excludes readmission for the same incident, day patients and patients discharged as deceased.) This is a rate of 130 per 10,000 people compared to 115 nationally. Focus areas for 2019/20 were safety in the home (including falls), family harm prevention, mental wellbeing, fire safety and water safety.

Note: This information does not include injuries where people have not made an ACC claim. Region is based on the claimant’s residential address at the time of the accident. The accident did not necessarily occur in this region. The number of entitlement claims maybe underestimated in the most recent years, since some claims might have not started receiving their entitlement yet.

Injury prevention projects include:

In a survey of Napier residents undertaken in June 2020, 67% positively rated their feelings of safety (81% of residents rated their feelings of safety as moderate (‘Neither agree nor disagree’) or better). This perceived safety has declined since 2019 (75%) and could, in part, be attributed to gang-related activities in late 2019/early 2020. The main safety concerns were gangs (35%), theft/burglary/home invasions (30%) and violence/abuse/intimidating behaviour burglary (29%). Victimisations for assault by family members remains above the national average. Assaults in public places has increased over the past five years and like the whole of Hawke’s Bay is twice the rate of New Zealand as a whole*. Family harm, alcohol, methamphetamine, synthetic cannabis, and gang activities are contributing factors for Napier’s criminal victimisations. Focus areas for 2018/19 were: strengthening neighbourhoods, burglary and theft (including shoplifting), family harm prevention (reported under injury prevention) and safety in public places. Note: Victimisations are reported crime only. A victimisation counts a person once for each criminal incident for the most serious offence within an offence division. Assault victimisations in ‘Public Place’ are defined as those occurring in: Public Place, Open Space, Car Park or Street/Footpath. Police data is for the territorial authority, which is a larger catchment than past Safer Napier annual reporting. *Matariki Executive Group. 2018.

Fatal and serious road crashes have fluctuated slightly but remain below the national rate. In 2019, there were 492 reported road crashes on all Napier roads (4 fatal, 19 serious, 124 minor and 345 non-injury). Top crash factors (multiple factors can occur in one crash) were poor observation (36%), incorrect lanes or position (23%), alcohol (20%) and failed to give way/stop (18%). The 20-24 year old group continues to have the highest number of crashes (23 crashes) where the driver was at fault or part fault. In 2019, there were 17 reported crashes involving cyclists (no fatal, 1 serious, 8 minor and 8 non-injury) and 15 reported crashes involving pedestrians (one fatal, 3 serious, 8 minor and 3 non-injury). Focus areas for 2018/19 were: alcohol and drug impaired drivers, intersections, safe speeds, driver distractions, restraint use, and safe roads and roadsides.

Note: CAS data relates to crashes reported to Police. It is believed non-fatal crashes are under-reported, with the level of under-reporting decreasing with the severity of the crash. CAS reports the number of crashes (recorded as the most serious injury category) not the number of people injured. It is a dynamic operational database with a delay from the time of a crash to full and correct crash records. Data as at 23/07/2020.

Neighbourhood Support is a good way to promote community connections and share information as well as preventing crime. In June 2020 there were 8,012 households belonging to an active Neighbourhood Support Group in Napier (one in three households). The decline in numbers for 2020 reflects the introduction of the new GetsReady database and a number of inactive groups being identified and removed. Emergency preparedness levels were similar in 2019 and 2017. Of surveyed households in Napier over half (58%) had a household emergency plan in 2019. Residents felt they had enough food (85%) and water (61%) stored for three days. Almost three quarters (69%) had a plan to get away in case of a long or strong earthquake, natural tsunami warning. Younger residents aged 39 and under were the least prepared for an emergency. Focus areas in 2019/20 were: strengthening community connections, emergency readiness, community education and awareness, and healthy, accessible housing.

Note: HBRC Residents Survey results give a general trend but not absolute figures for all Napier households. Responses were statistically weighted to reflect the gender and age group proportions as determined by the Statistics New Zealand 2013 Census.

Alcohol related fatal and serious road crashes have increased overall over the last five years. In 2019, there was one fatal and four serious road crashes where 'Alcohol test above limit or test refused' was a factor contributing to the crash. In Hawke’s Bay, 29% of adults drink at harmful levels compared with 21% nationally, and harmful drinking is rising over time. Alcohol-related hospital admission rates have doubled since 2009*. A total of $20,166,133 was lost on Napier electronic gaming machines (EGMs) / pokie machines in 2019**. Other addictions such as illicit drug use are also known to have negative outcomes to both the individual and wider community. Results from the National Wastewater Testing Programme show methamphetamine remains the most commonly detected illicit drug nationwide and its use is most prevalent per capita in the Eastern (includes Napier), Northland, and Bay of Plenty Police Districts.***. Focus areas in 2018/19 were: Alcohol, other drugs and gambling.

Challenges and Opportunities 22. Thinking about the last 12 months, what have been some of the biggest challenges for your Safe Community and what steps have you taken to address these? The COVID-19 pandemic has been a challenge this year, both at the individual and community level. Safer Napier had to cancel events such as the annual workshop and White Ribbon Ride. As the annual workshop is an important opportunity to gain input from over 40 Safer Napier partners on priorities and activities, this year we have achieved this through an online survey. Positive opportunities have also arisen from the COVID-19 response including the Network of Networks (see case study), the regional family harm online hui, and proposed Team Napier initiatives such as expanding the ‘Look out for your neighbour’ campaign and local suburb activations.

Safer Napier is looking into how to support maintaining the great collaboration and outcomes achieved through the Network of Networks. Another challenge is changing representation on the Safer Napier Strategic Group. We are mindful of the need to orient new members so they are aware of opportunities the programme presents and their role on the group.

23. Thinking about the last 12 months - what have been some of the biggest opportunities for your Safe Community and what steps have you taken to address these? Working with Kings House Church (the Samoan Assembly of God) and Safekids Aotearoa Safety Whare at the Celebrate Safer Napier - Whānau Fun Fest has been an excellent opportunity to raise awareness of child injury prevention and encourage aiga to make behaviour changes to minimise risk. Other positive opportunities were:  Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) two day training held in Napier attended by Safer Napier Strategic Group agencies and members from the wider Safe Community network, Hastings, Central Hawke’s Bay, Tararua, Taupō, and Whanganui  Appointment of the Safer Napier Coordinator to the Pan Pacific Safe Community Network (PPSCN) Board as the New Zealand community representative and the international Safe Communities connection with the Village of Lenox, Illinois, USA. This connection with a Safe Community in the wider PPSCN helps to build our network and provides access to similar communities to share knowledge and examples of best practice, in this case around falls prevention  Establishment of the Fire and Emergency New Zealand Hawke’s Bay Local Advisor Committee of which the Safer Napier Coordinator has been appointed a member.

Final Comments 24. How can SCFNZ further support your Safe Community efforts? SCFNZ can support Safer Napier by continuing to increase the national profile of Safe Communities. Advocating for on-going local funding is critical to the sustainability of the programme. Also, by the continuation of the national hui, webinars, professional development for coordinators, and distribution of information and links with international safe community networks. Face to face contact either nationally or regionally is important to maintain the strong networks and relationships SCFNZ have made.

25. Is there anything else you would like to add in relation to your Safe Community? The ‘Unlocking the Potential of Safe Communities’ project conducted by ACC has identified some good potential for the Safe Community network in New Zealand. However the advice that ACC is unlikely to continue with the Partnership Agreement with SCFNZ beyond June 2020 brings uncertainty about what this might mean for national support and infrastructure that ties safe communities together. The ACC Partnership Agreement and funding has enabled SCFNZ to provide support to communities through an annual national hui, assisting individual communities develop effective coalitions and injury prevention approaches, plus information and guidance to community coalition chairs and coordinators.
