Statement of Intent 2006 - Our Outcomes in Context

Child, Youth and Family’s Contribution to Social and Justice Outcomes

Child, Youth and Family contribute to government’s broad outcomes in two sectors: the Social development sector and the Justice sector.

• the outcome of “families and whanau living free from violence” through our participation in the Te Rito: New Zealand Family Violence Prevention Strategy
• social development outcomes for children, young people, and families – young and old, through our core work of protecting children and young people from abuse, neglect and insecurity of care
• improved outcomes for Maori and Pacific peoples, through our commitment to operationalising our Te Pounamu strategy (to guide our work with Maori stakeholders) and our Pacific peoples’ responsiveness plan
• the Justice sector outcome of “safer communities” through our commitment to the Youth offending strategy and implementation of the Youth Justice plan.
