CPS
   
Preventing harm to children through education and awareness
 
For most children, New Zealand is a wonderful place to grow up in. Some are not so lucky. Childhood trauma, abuse, and neglect are a fact of life (and sometimes death) for too many of our young people.

Highlights from CPS

This year, some highlights for CPS have been:

All About Me

New Zealand Police have developed a wonderful programme for Early Childhood Centres to complement the established Keeping Ourselves Safe programme. CPS has worked with the police and ERO to deliver and evaluate the essential training and preparation needed by teachers from Early Childhood Centres wishing to implement All About Me. We are delighted that we have supported and trained over 1000 Early Childhood Teachers from throughout the country to be confident to deliver the programme.

0800FV line

It has been a real pleasure to work with our colleague Jo from PVH in developing the induction training programme for the Family Violence line operators. Being part of that team and developing closer relationships with Jigsaw members is an enjoyable and valuable opportunity.

"How Can I Tell?"

In August CPS was delighted to launch "How Can I Tell?" - a guide for recognising when a child or family needs help. It was sponsored by two Hamilton businesses and is free to anyone who interacts wtih children. It has been extremely well received and groups are able to order multiple copies through CPS.
