Kai & Kōrero: Learning over lunch

The Second Te Aorerekura Action Plan, Breaking the Cycle of Violence

Our March Kai & Kōrero: Learning over lunch session will be useful to anyone with an interest in improving the family violence and sexual violence system. We will engage with Te Puna Aonui about the second Te Aorerekura Action Plan and how we can work together to give effect to the priorities in the plan.

Te Aorerekura is the 25-year National Strategy that sets the framework for collective action to address family violence and sexual violence.  Chief Executive of Te Puna Aonui, Emma Powell will provide an introduction to the new Te Aorerekura Action Plan (2025-2030) and how they will work to implement the priorities in the plan, including strengthening workforce capability and improving multi-agency responses to family violence. 

This session will give you an understanding of the scope of the work underway and how you can be involved.
