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 1 For more information on Safe Communities see www.safecommunities.org.nz 2 Please note this report gives an overview of Safer Napier activities and does not include all community safety initiatives occurring in Napier. 3 Safer Napier Memorandum of Commitment signatories Note: Safer Napier Strategic Group (SNSG)3 members are shown in bold Accident Compensation Corporation Age Concern Napier Ahuriri Māori Wardens Trust Alcohol Action Hawke’s Bay Citizens Advice Bureau Disability Resource Centre Hawke’s Bay DOVE HB Fire and Emergency New Zealand Hawke’s Bay Civil Defence Emergency Management Group Hawke’s Bay District Health Board Health Hawke’s Bay – Te Oranga Hawke’s Bay Ka Hao Te Rangatahi Trust Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities4 Liberty Training NZ Mataruahau Māori Wardens Ministry of Education Ministry of Social Development Multicultural Association Hawke’s Bay Incorporated Napier City Council Napier Youth Council – Te Kaunihera Rangatahi O Ahuriri Napier Community Patrol Napier Disability Advisory Group Napier Family Centre Napier Inner City Covenanted Churches Napier Neighbourhood Support Napier Safety Trust New Zealand Police New Zealand Red Cross New Zealand Transport Agency Pirimai Baptist Church Plunket Hawke’s Bay RoadSafe Hawke’s Bay Roopu a Iwi Trust St John Central Region Salvation Army Sport Hawke’s Bay 3 As at June 2020. 4 On 1 October 2019, Housing New Zealand joined HLC and KiwiBuild to form Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities. 4 Surf Lifesaving New Zealand Te Kupenga Hauora – Ahuriri Te Puni Kōkiri Tū Tangata Maraenui Trust Whatever it Takes Trust Volunteering Hawke’s Bay Zeal Hawke’s Bay New SNSG members since Safer Napier Memorandum of Commitment signing are: Napier City Business Incorporation New Zealand Automobile Association Te Rangihaeata Oranga Trust / Hawke’s Bay Problem Gambling Services Safer Napier Reaccreditation Ceremony, March 2016 5 Case studies 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.
