Annual Safer Napier Workshop

A Safer Napier workshop was held in

August 2012. Over 60 people

participated representing more than 35

community groups, organisations and

agencies who contribute to Safer Napier.

The workshop included an introduction

of Results Based Accountability (RBA),

celebrating success of three local

projects, SCFNZ presentation, a visioning

exercise and speed networking.

The small group visioning exercise –

“what does a Safer Napier look and feel

like?” was facilitated by the SNSG. The

ideas generated by this diverse group

were distilled at the workshop and along

with the RBA indicators, form the basis

of the Safer Napier Strategic Plan

update.

Speed networking (something like the

concept of speed dating) was noisy, but

great fun and a good way to meet a lot

of people in a short time. People shared,

in 60 seconds, who they were and how

they contribute to Safer Napier.

Information and key contacts were later

collated and distributed to the group.

100% of groups that completed the

feedback form said the workshop was

worthwhile and would like it to be an

annual event.

Criteria 1 & 7 – Leadership / Collaborative Relationships / Partnerships / Networks

The Safer Napier programme continues to provide an excellent opportunity to expand and

support a collaborative approach to addressing safety issues in the city. A particular strength

of Napier’s safety effort is the excellent collaboration between a large number of agencies and

groups1

and in order to support and enhance this, a Safer Napier workshop was held in August

2012 (see insert for details).

The Safer Napier Strategic Group2

(SNSG) continues to coordinate and drive the strategic

direction of the programme. Reference groups have been established in 2012 around priority

areas to provide specialist skills and expertise. They help identify priorities for each year and

may collaborate to deliver activities that contribute to the goals themselves. There are

currently reference groups for alcohol related harm and road safety. Further reference

groups will be established in 2013 that focus on community resilience and water safety.

In 2012 the Safer Communities Committee was dissolved to provide a more direct link to

Napier City Council Committees. Several Councillors now attend strategic planning sessions

and are all provided with updates throughout the year.

International Safe Community networks remain an important part of Safer Napier. With the

accreditation of Hastings and Central Hawke’s Bay as safe communities in 2012 and Wairoa

aiming for June 2013, a regional working group has been formed to offer collegial support and

ensure a coordinated approach across Hawke’s Bay. Part of this regional focus has included

helping Safer Hastings develop a draft RBA framework, a field trip to Wairoa and two joint

projects with Hastings (Ease up in the Bay and the Safe Communities House).

Attendance at the World Safety Conference has been a highlight of 2012 and a great

opportunity to extend networks both national and international, hear new and innovative

ideas, new research, and learn more about other ISC communities.

Collaboration, partnerships and networking remain a key strength of Napier’s approach.

Criteria 2 & 3: (Programmes - population & high risk) and Criteria 4, 5 & 6 (evidence/data/evaluation)

Goal One: People are injury free in Napier - How well are we doing?

Our Target Population: Napier Community

How we measure success:

1. Number of ACC injury claims in Napier 2. Number of injuries in public places

There has been an overall decrease in the number of ACC

claims for injuries occurring in Napier between 2007

(29,602 claims) and 2011 (27,266 claims), with the lowest

amount in 2010.

There has been an overall decrease in the number of ACC claims

for injuries in Napier’s public places (home*, school and place of

recreation or sport) between 2007 (20,885 claims) and 2011

(19,559 claims), with the lowest amount in 2010.

Source: ACC Source: ACC (* ACC data includes home as a public place)

The story behind the data

An overall decrease in both ACC claims for injury and injuries in Napier public places is an encouraging indicator that community safety in

regard to injuries is improving in Napier. Projects such as the Safe Communities House, Home Fire Safety Checks, ActiveSmart and Family Start

are helping to increase people’s awareness of how to reduce the risk of injuries. Priorities for Safer Napier include: Falls and slips (over 1,800

people aged 25–64 years were injured in falls in Napier homes, one of the highest rates in the country), Childhood injuries, Safety in the home,

Alcohol-related harm, suicide, family violence and water safety.

Note: This information does not include injuries where people have not made an ACC claim. Also the injury may not have occurred in Napier but the person lives in

Napier. Information for 2012 is not complete so has not been included.

Injury Prevention projects include:

Safe Communities House

The Safe Communities House is located at

the Hastings Fire Station and includes two

identical children’s bedrooms – except that

one has been gutted by fire. The house also

includes a kitchen area where kids can play

‘spot the hazards’ based on the ACC Home

Safety Action Week message, Fight the Five

Home Hazards.

Project Partners: Fire, NCC, ACC, local

businesses and Safer Hastings

Opened in November 2012, 170 Napier

Year One and Year Two School students

with their teachers and caregivers have

been through.

Spot the Hazard game involves identifying

the five common home fall hazards - moss,

puddles, power cords, rugs and chairs.

People who have visited the Safe

Communities House have an increased

awareness of fire safety and common

household fall hazards.

Follow up activities at Onekawa School have

shown students have retained the

knowledge and some children have made

changes at home.

Kia Piki Te Ora

A National programme to promote the

prevention of suicide to all ages by working

with and helping to connect community and

government agencies.

Project partners: TKHA and MoH

Hawke’s Bay wide Kia Piki Te Ora has

connected with over 64 community and

government agencies. It also supports

community initiatives like HOPE, Hui Up

and Whanau Ora to prevent suicide.

Statistics show that there has been no

increase in the overall percentage of suicide

however youth suicide is highlighted as an

area to prioritise.

ActiveSmart

www.activesmart.co.nz is the home of free,

online and customised training plans

designed by experts to suit individual

fitness goals.

Project partners: Sport HB and ACC.

During 2012, 38 people from Napier have

registered with ActiveSmart and had

individual plans developed.

ActiveSmart targets people who enjoy

recreational activities, social players and

people returning to sport. These make up a

large proportion of ACC injury claims. It is

believed training programmes will reduce the

likelihood of injury.

Healthy Housing Safety Kit and Checklist

As well as retrofitting houses to make them

healthier, this project also checked smoke

alarms and provided medicine cabinet

locks, non-slip bath mats and other safety

devices for families with low incomes and

health issues.

Project Partners: HBDHB, ECCA, Energy

Options Ltd, ACC and HHB.

In 2012, 36 homes in Napier received

safety devices (smoke alarms, cupboard

latches, no slip mats, hot water

temperature reduction and socket

protectors) as part of the Healthy Homes

program.

This programme, as well as increasing

indoor room temperatures closer to the

WHO recommendations, has also increased

participants’ awareness of how they can

make their homes safer.

GRx – Green Prescription

Green Prescription [GRx] is an exercise

prescription given to patients by their

health professional. The aim is to increase

fitness and improve patients’ health

conditions through exercise and education

sessions.

Project Partners: Sport HB, HBDHB and

During 2012 GRx received an average of 58

referrals per month for the Napier region.

Napier increased rotary pathways

encouraging more residents to walk, cycle

or run in a safe environment away from

traffic.

176 people responded ‘yes’ and 36 ‘no’ to -

Are you now physically active for 30

minutes a minimum of three times a week?

209 people responded ‘yes’ and 12‘no’ to

the following question - Do you feel more

confident about doing physical activity

since receiving your GRx ?

Upright and Active

A six week Falls Prevention community

programme. The course included: safety in

the home, medication management, eating

well, benefits of physical activity, moving

about safely in the community, and vision.

Project partners: Sport HB, Age Concern,

MoH and ACC.

One course has run in 2012. There were

22 participants that completed the course

with a 100% satisfaction rate from those

who attended.

Of those who took part, 80% have reported

improved strength and balance, 100%

experienced increased confidence to carry

out activities of daily living, 50% made

changes to their environment to reduce the

risk of slips, trips and falls and 100% said

they would continue with exercise.

Tai Chi

Tai Chi 16 week block course run between

January and June 2012 as part of the Sport

Hawke’s Bay/ACC Falls Prevention

partnership.

Sport HB has also continued throughout the

year with a new ‘User Pays Model’ Tai Chi

course.

Project Partners: Sport HB and ACC

Four courses held with 80 new clients under

the ACC/Sport Hawke’s Bay partnership.

There have been 33 ‘user pays’ courses (8

week blocks) introduced for the period

January 2012 – December 2012. This has

seen a further 411 new clients coming

through courses which have included a total

of 3984 visits.

There has been a 100% satisfaction rating

from those attending courses.

Step tests conducted at end of 16 week

block course showed there to be over a 90%

improvement on the step test that had been

conducted at the beginning.

Participants of both Tai Chi courses have

reported ongoing improvements to

strength, flexibility, balance, posture and

overall general well-being.

Tai Chi classes aimed at Napier’s older adults are part of the Fall Prevention Strategy

Firewise

A national programme to increase fire

safety awareness in schools.

Project Partners: NZ Fire Service and Napier

Schools.

Firewise has been delivered to 71% of all

year one and two students, and 18% for

year seven and eight students. This is less

than usual because of the routine strike

which took firefighters out for eight months

between the 1st

July 2011 and the 26th

March 2012.

A national evaluation of the programme

showed 97% of schools surveyed thought the

programme was very good or good.

Childrens’ behaviour at school changed and

some parents reported their children

demonstrating fire safety knowledge at

Home Fire Safety Checks

Napier Fire Station identifies and prioritises

families at risk and visits the household

and offers a home fire safety check that

includes the installation of a 10 year smoke

alarm.

Project Partners: NZ Fire Service, HHB and

Napier firefighters have visited 247 Napier

homes since July 2012.

The target risk groups were:

Maori/Pacific People

Children under five

Elderly

Figures for residential property damage in

Napier have increased from 50 per 100,000

population in July 2012 to 110 per 100,000

population in January 2013. This said Napier

still has one of the lower rates for residential

property damage in the country.

Fire Awareness Intervention Programme

(FAIP)

FAIP is a free, consequence based,

education programme delivered by trained

firefighters to help children overcome

unhealthy fire lighting behavior. Referrals

for the programme come from NZ Police,

MoJ and schools.

Project Partners: NZ Fire Service and Police.

18 FAIP interventions have been completed

in the past 7 months.

This programme has helped to prevent

significant property loss in our community.

HBDHB Violence Intervention Programmes

These are a range of programmes aimed at

reducing family violence, and child and elder

abuse throughout all HBDHB services and in

collaboration with other service providers.

Project Partners: HBDHB, CYF and Primary

Health Organisations

The following programmes have been

implemented in 2012:

Child, Youth and Family Hospital

Liaison Social Worker in HBDHB

Shaken Baby Prevention Programme

Vulnerable Pregnant Women’s Group

Elder Abuse and Neglect training for

all HBDHB staff that work with older

people

Improving health outcomes for vulnerable

communities (including Maori, Pacific,

refugees and other vulnerable communities

within Hawke’s Bay) will ultimately reduce

harm and improve our population’s

outcomes.

In 2011/2012 the HBDHB have achieved a

near-perfect hospital responsiveness audit

score of 196/200, indicating that, across

the hospital, service providers are well

trained to respond to the signs and

symptoms of abuse.

Wellbeing in Schools

The Healthy Populations Group of HBDHB

developed a framework for schools to

implement strategies that promote and

support children’s mental health and

wellbeing.

Project partners: HBDHB, SHORE and Whariki

Research Centre (Massey University), Mental

Health Foundation, Tamatea and Porritt

Primary School

The framework has been demonstrated in

two primary schools in Napier. The model

supports the NZ Curriculum (2007) of

“Young people who will be confident,

connected, actively involved, lifelong

learners”. In the pilot schools interventions

included implementation of FRIENDS – a

social and emotional competence building

programme for students at Tamatea

Primary School, and at Porritt School, the

implementation of a values based

programme based on the school motto

"Porritt PRIDE" and a cultural programme

called the whanau group.

The evaluation showed: children

experienced increased personal and social

skills; teachers consistently modelled safe

and caring practices; children were able to

identify feelings in themselves and others

and children learned how thoughts and

feelings affect behaviour, the schools

changed reward systems and school rules

to reflect a positive approach and a more

supportive school environment.

Goal Two: Napier roads are safe for all who use them – How are we doing?

Our Target Population: All road users in the Napier area

1. Number of reported

road crashes

2. Number of ACC claims for

road crashes

3. Number of kilometres of cycleways

and cycle lanes

The total number of road crashes in Napier has

been reducing between 2007 (707crashes) and

2011 (478 crashes). Serious, minor and non

injury crashes have all reduced over the period

with 18 serious crashes, 114 minor injury and

342 non injury crashes in 2011.

The number of ACC claims for road crashes

has been reducing over the last five years,

from 646 in 2007 to 468 in 2011. There were

four ACC fatal road claims for road crashes in

Napier in 2011. This is less than 2010

(6 claims) and 2009 (8 claims).

In 2012 there was 1.9km of new off-road

cycleways and 1.7km of on road cycle lanes

installed. Between 2007 and 2012, 20.6km of

new off-road cycle lanes have been installed in

Napier.

These are all encouraging indicators that road safety is improving in Napier. Through promotional campaigns people are becoming

more aware of risks and road upgrades are helping to improve road conditions. Based on the NZTA briefing notes 2010 which collate

traffic crash data and provide comparisons to similar cities over a five year period (2005-2009) priorities for Napier are: Alcohol (14%

of injury crashes), Young drivers (15-19 year olds were involved in 24% of all injury crashes), motorcyclist (13% of all injury crashes),

safe roads and roadsides (on average 37 injury crashes per 100 million VKT), intersections (52% of all injury crashes in Napier

occurred at intersections and is showing an upward trend), and pedestrian and cyclist safety (9% and 13% respectively of all injury

crashes).

Note: CAS data relates to crashes reported to Police, there will be crashes particularly minor that are not reported. The data is also for the number of

crashes not the number of people injured. Information for 2012 is not complete so has not been included.

School Zones

The installation of high profile signage to

indicate a school zone ahead.

Project partners: NCC and local schools.

Flashing schools signs have been installed

at five more Napier schools (Arthur Miller

School, Taradale High, Taradale

Intermediate, Tamatea Intermediate School

and Maraenui School).

A 40 km/h speed limit has been introduced

on Kennedy Road outside Onekawa School,

35 minutes prior to the start of school and

20 minutes after school closes

A high percentage of motorists do reduce

their speed to meet the speed limit on

Kennedy Road and the flashing signs at the

other schools have also contributed to a

reduction in speed, making the roads safer

for all users.

Formal evaluations of the effects will not be

done until the signs have been in place for

six months.

Active, flashing ‘School Zone’ signs are

located immediately before Kea crossings,

reminding drivers to slow down and be

aware of children.

Just Another Saturday Night

This is a youth alcohol education resource

(DVD) which highlights the risk of drink

driving and related factors using a real

case study.

Project Partners: RoadSafe HB, Police and

case study members.

The resource is used by addiction

providers, police educators, schools and

health promoters. The resource is

available nationally.

In 2012 two new sections have been added,

a pictorial of Jared’s day and a personal

account from the brother of one of the men

killed in the crash.

Just Another Saturday Night was presented

as a Poster Presentation at the recent World

Injury Prevention Conference. It has also

been accepted as part of the course

contents for the Foundation Certificate in

Injury Prevention.

Just Another Saturday night has been a

very effective tool in raising young drivers’

awareness of the risk of driving drunk.

An indication of its effectiveness is that

Senior Constable Iain Cheyne and Linda

Anderson (RoadSafe HB) both received the

Te Manaia National Award presented by

Injury Prevention Network of Aotearoa New

Zealand (IPNANZ) for their services to injury

prevention.

Hawke’s Bay Road Safety Expo

The second annual Youth Alcohol Expo

(30 April - 4 May 2012) provided a one-

stop-shop environment open to all Year 11

students, parents/whanau and the wider

Hawke’s Bay community. The major themes

of the expo were related to risk taking, the

choices young people make and the

potential consequences of such decision

making. It included crash scenes, live

demonstrations, presentations, interactive

exhibits and development of a workbook

resource.

Project partners: RoadSafe HB, HBDHB,

Police, ACC, HHB, SADD, NZ Fire Service,

and St Johns Ambulance.

Approximately 2500 people attended from

the Hawke’s Bay region. The attendees

were Hawke’s Bay school students, students

from tertiary providers and the general

public.

Very positive feedback has been received

from the schools.

Pre and post surveys identified an improved

understanding of the potential risks and

consequences when driving impaired (or

travelling in a vehicle with an impaired

driver).

By raising awareness of the risks and

consequences of driving impaired, it is

anticipated a change in behaviour and

attitude will reduce the number of fatal and

serious crashes.

Mothers Against Impaired Driving-MAIDs

This is a new project currently under

development. The focus is on youth and

alcohol and how mothers can influence

young people to not drive impaired or get

into a vehicle with an impaired driver

Project partners: RoadSafe HB.

The MAIDs, a group of eight mothers who

play netball together, attend events to raise

awareness of the risks and consequences of

driving or being driven by an impaired

driver. They also highlight the risks that

drivers pose for all road users.

This is a new project and an evaluation is

currently being developed.

Crash Reduction Study

Based on road safety statistics (Crash

Analysis System - CAS), areas are identified

that have high crash rates or where the

severity of injuries are high.

Projects partners: RoadSafe HB, ACC, NCC,

Police, NZTA and HBDHB.

Improvements to two areas (Battery Road

and Milton Road) have occurred. These

include resurfacing, road markings,

improved lighting, changes in parking and

additional signs. Three intersections have

been investigated and recommendations

will be made to Council soon.

Improvements to the physical road network

have made two identified ‘problem areas’

much safer for road users.

Cycleways and cycle lanes

Paths provided for cyclists and walkers that

link key areas.

Project partners: Pathway Trust, Rotary

and NCC.

The first stage of the Taipo Stream off-road

pathway in Knightsbridge (1200m), plus

additional cycleways in Bayview (570m) and

Pettigrew Green Arena (130m) have been

completed.

On-road cycle lanes have been implemented

on Kennedy Road (between Wellesley Rd and

Douglas McLean Ave, 780m) and Battery

Road (920m).

It is widely accepted that the safest

cycleway is an off-road track. On-road

cycle lanes also make it safer, as road

markings assist in separating the cyclists

from vehicles.

Goal Three: People in Napier feel safe – How well are we doing?

Our Target Population: Napier Community

1. Number of reported criminal

offences

2. Number of public place

violent offences

3. Percentage of people who feel safe

The total number of criminal offences in

Napier has overall been reducing

between 2007 (8,090 offences) and 2011

(7,647 offences) with a peak in 2009

(8,382 offences).

The number of public place violent

offences has been reducing between 2007

(307 offences) and 2011 (191 offences)

with a slight increase in 2009 (291

offences).

The number of people surveyed who feel

safe in Napier has increased from 92.3%

in 2007 to 98% in 2011. There has been

a significant 5% increase from 2009 and

Source: www.police.govt.nz/service/statistics Source: Police National Office Source: Napier Social Monitor Report, NCC

These are all encouraging trends and reflect the great work that has been happening in Napier both during and after International Safe

Communities accreditation in 2010. Community Patrol, Neighbourhood Support, Local Neighbourhood Policing Units, have all

contributed to making people in Napier feel safe. Alcohol related harm (including public places disorder), Youth offending, Burglary,

Crime in Napier South suburbs and Family violence remain a high priority.

Note: The information relates to reported crime and we know many crimes go unreported. Information for 2012 is not complete so has not been

included.

Neighbourhood Support

This programme promotes the safety and

protection of people living in Napier. It

facilitates the formation of new groups and

helps maintain them. It also raises

community awareness of specific safety

issues in localised areas.

Project partners: Napier Neighbourhood

Support (NNHS), Police and NCC.

35% of Napier’s households belong to a

Neighbourhood Support Group with 817

groups in operation across the city. This is

the highest proportionally in New Zealand.

During 2012, 25 Crime Alerts were sent

and 893 households were added or had

their details updated with 1,884 households

removed (of these, 1,335 were as a result

of an internal update of records, removing

people who have moved etc.)

The Police Crime statistics record a

substantial reduction in burglaries, theft

from cars and car theft over the past 12

months.

The high proportion of households involved

and the established networks means NNHS

is a very effective way of disseminating

information. It has been used to promote

Civil Defence messages. For example, the

‘Shakeout’ exercise, and the Siren Test.

Community Patrols

Community Patrols provide volunteers who

patrol Napier city in the effort to prevent

crime. Specific patrols have taken place

around events such as the Mission Concert

and international cricket matches to focus

particularly on car burglary prevention.

Project partners: Community Patrols, NCC,

Police and Napier Safety Trust.

The total number of volunteer patrol hours

for the year was 12,036. This includes

mobile, foot and event patrols and special

operations.

NCC has increased funding to assist with

rising costs largely due to petrol price

increases.

There are many examples on a weekly basis

of how the Community Patrol is making a

difference. For example, Patrollers

witnessed a heated exchange between a

male and female in a street in Taradale.

Some physical aggression was shown.

Safer Schools

A partnership with primary schools to help

address safety issues for their students. A

focus group of students from each school

identified the safety issues to be addressed.

Project partners: Richmond and Maraenui

Bilingual School, NCC, Police and NZ Fire

Service

Two Napier schools that are located in high

crime areas - Maraenui Bilingual School and

Richmond School participated.

Actions during the year included: Napier

Junior Campus Cop, Waste Aware

Programme, increased patrol of animal

control and a guided safety walk to school

session with Police and NCC to identify

concerns.

Increasing reported incidents to Campus

Cops indicating awareness of issues and

reduced tolerance to violent or anti-social

behavior.

Kea crossing outside Maraenui Bilingual

School installed ready for 2013.

Evaluation of this project has highlighted

the potential of the project and possibility

to expand into other schools. The SNSG

identified that collaborating with other

agencies to complement other school based

programmes would be ideal.

Street by Street (Whakamana te Whanau)

Streets selected by Police in response to

specific localised issues (e.g. family

violence). A BBQ is held and, following this,

a survey is conducted that identify

particular concerns for the residents.

Project partners: Police, NCC, NNHS, Roopu

A Iwi, Maori Wardens and ACC.

A ‘Street by Street’ was implemented in the

Onekawa Industrial area which has

experienced high burglary and theft. The

BBQ was well attended by workers and

employers in the area.

A Business Neighbourhood Support Group

has been formed. Community Patrol has

developed an Industrial Area Team to do

night patrols in the area. Burglaries were

halved in the month following the BBQ and

the Community Constable has reported

more calls reporting suspicious behaviour,

indicting an increase in awareness and

ownership.

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)

CCTV cameras are located in public places

for the deterrence or immediate detection

of criminal offences.

Project partners: Napier Safety Trust,

Police, Community Patrols, NCC and Airnet

/ NOW.

There are 14 cameras operating 24/7 in

Napier with real time monitoring occurring

at the peak hours of 9pm – 4am Thursday

to Saturday.

All people involved with monitoring and

operating the cameras receive training.

Forty one arrests were made in 2012 that

were directly attributable to the cameras.

This is significantly higher than 2011 (23

arrests) and relates largely to an increase

in arrests for Breach of Liquor Ban both in

the CBD and the Ahuriri bar area.

We’re OK in the Bay – How Employers can

Family violence workshop targeting

employers and employees, victims and

offenders.

Project partner: Family Violence Inter-

Agency Response Team, NCC, MoJ, Live HB

A two hour workshop attended by 20

people from a range of organizations and

business in Napier was held. Workshops

covered what family violence is and how

employers and work colleagues can help.

Participants of workshop have commented

on how much they learned and how it made

them feel empowered to know what to do.

This workshop was so successful five more

Operation Bliss

Police, Women’s Refuge and other support

agencies team up during the Christmas and

New Year period to give support to high-risk

and repeat domestic violence offenders. The

programme creates safety plans with

contacts who can help with financial

budgeting etc and establishes personal

relationships between Police Officers and

families.

Project partners: Police, Women’s Refuge,

CYFS, MSD, Victim Support, DOVE HB,

LIVE HB, Department of Corrections and

Mental Health and Addiction Services.

Twelve families from throughout Napier

were part of Operation Bliss.

The families were selected because of their

numerous calls for Police service in the

previous twelve months, of the twelve

families who participated in Operation Bliss

only one of the families has reported a

Family Violence incident to Police since.

Campus Cops

Police youth service staff and community

constables have a regular presence in

schools. They answer any queries youth or

staff may have, discuss driving and crime

issues, interact with staff and students

alike and get involved in campus activities.

Purpose: Building relationships with local

children and youth at local primary,

intermediate and secondary schools.

Project partners: Police, MoE, Safe Houses,

NCC and schools.

This programme is delivered to all six

Napier secondary and all three Napier

intermediate schools. There are eight

Junior Campus Cop (JCC) participating

schools and these are located across Napier

Campus cops interact with all students and

staff.

The community as a whole is better off with

this project. It is giving the younger kids

regular contact with the local constabulary,

teaching them pro-social activities and that

Police are there to help and are your friend.

The secondary age kids also become more

approachable and reports from staff

indicate that they are having these kids

approach them in the street when they see

them on duty. Anecdotally, schools report

less disruptive behaviour on campus.

Goal Four: Napier is free from Alcohol related harm – How are we doing?

Our Target Population: Napier community

1. Number of alcohol related fatal road crashes 2. Level of intoxication for arrests, where alcohol consumed

The number of alcohol related fatal crashes has fluctuated over the

last five years. The number of serious road crashes reached a low

in 2010 but shows an increase from 2010 to 2011.

In 2011, over 50% of arrests where alcohol had been consumed people

were extremely or moderately intoxicated. Data for previous years is

currently not available.

Source: CAS

Extreme Moderate Slight Nil Not Known

Source: ACC Community Profiles

The data shows that alcohol is still a major cause of road crashes. Nearly a quarter of people in Hawke’s Bay who consume alcohol are

hazardous drinkers, which is higher than the national average. Hawke’s Bay has higher death rates for alcohol related disease, higher

incidences of road fatalities and higher alcohol related offending than the national averages. Alcohol related harm is more prevalent for

Maori men, youth, underage drinkers and those living in deprived areas but the impacts are felt throughout our communities. Younger

women are starting to feature in this group as their consumption rates increase.

Note: The crash data relates to crashes that police have attended or have been reported to Police. If alcohol is a factor may not be recorded in all causes.

Information for 2012 is not complete so has not been included.

Atomic Event Centre Camp

Camp for young people that included

alcohol awareness activities, personal

development and outdoor education

(tramping, cook out, flying kiwi, mud

walk).

A three day camp was attended by 31

participants, 15 from Napier and 16 from

Hastings.

A survey was done at the start and the end

of the camp, this showed an increased

knowledge of the harmful effects of alcohol

(at the end the participants were

mentioning broader effects such as family

harm, mental health issues), how much is

safe to drink, what binge drinking is (they

did not know at the start). Participants

were all shocked to see how much damage

drinking can actually do to your body both

in the short and long term.

premises across Napier.

A taxi stand at Ahuriri has been installed

and no parking introduced on West Quay

after 11 pm Friday and Saturday nights.

Incidents of overcrowding have been

reported to NCC by Police and are being

addressed. The removal of parking

immediately outside the bars after 11 pm is

helping to relieve congestion in this area.

Alcohol Free Youth Events

A range of events for young people,

ranging from Youth Volunteering Seminars

to a New Year’s Eve Event.

Project partners: NCC and various

partners depending on events.

There have been thirteen events held (led

by or supported by Napier City Council).

Provision of these opportunities allows

youth to engage without the presence of

alcohol.

Marewa Liquor ban

NCC bylaw prohibiting the consumption of

alcohol in Marewa Shopping Centre and

other identified areas.

Project partners: NCC, Police and Marewa

Business Group.

A temporary 24 hour liquor ban (4 July

2012 to 3 June 2013) around the Marewa

shopping centre and Kindergarten has been

introduced.

A city wide liquor ban review is currently

underway and Marewa may become a

permanent liquor ban area as a result.

The liquor ban enables police to enforce the

law and prosecute problem drinkers in this

area where alcohol abuse was getting out of

hand. Violence has decreased from three

events in 2011, including a robbery, to one

event in 2012 for intimidation/ threats.

Calls about drunkenness in Marewa have

decreased dramatically from six events in

2011 to one event in 2012.

Goal Five: People in Napier know how to keep themselves safe – How well are we doing?

Our Target Population: Napier community

1. Households in Napier that are members

of a Neighbourhood Support Group

2. Number of households with civil

defence emergency kits

3. Number of working smoke alarms in

Napier homes

There are currently 8,414 members of

Neighbour-hood Support Groups. This is over

one in every three Napier households.

Of over 600 households surveyed during the

annual NCC Siren Survey the percentage of

households with civil defence kits has increased

from 44.3% in 2009 to 67.9% in 2012.

The number of households with working smoke

alarms is generally increasing; however there

was a slight decrease from 2011.

Source: Napier Neighbourhood Support

Source: NCC Siren Survey

4. Amount of resources and information distributed by the Safer Napier Programme

Over seven targeted resources in 2011 and 2012 have been distributed including: Kia Pika Ora Support Cards, Parent Pack (2012), Home Safety

Flip Chart, smoke alarms and Just Another Saturday Night. A variety of safety information has been provided to a number of target audiences,

including all Napier Primary schools, 684 Green prescriptions and 400 people attending the Celebrate Safer Napier Day.

Overall, these are encouraging indicators that show an increase in peoples’ preparedness to keep themselves safe. Although the

decrease in number of Neighbourhood Support households in the last two years may look like a worrying indicator, it is important to

note that an internal database review has been carried out that removed any out-dated contacts. Maintaining a high proportion (over

33%) of NNHS remains a priority for Napier. Other priorities include community awareness of safety issues, providing information so

people can make safe choices, emergency plans and community pride.

Note: The survey results give a general trend but not absolute figures for all Napier Households.

There were approximately 20 information

stalls from a range of local providers. The

event was well attended by local school

students but had a low turnout of adults.

It has been decided that, due to low

numbers of adults, this one big event will

not be held again. Instead, a number of

smaller street BBQs are planned for 2013.

Final Comments

Challenges

Working collaboratively, although recognized as the best approach, is also time-consuming. We have faced the usual tension between

tight timeframes to get projects and various reports completed with the busy schedules of our key stakeholders. That said, the

members of our SNSG have been very generous with their time and extremely responsive.

International Safe Communities (ISC) accreditation requires evaluation measures to assess programmes, processes and effects of

change. However, we know evaluations can be challenging so we developed “Safer Napier Project Evaluation Guidelines” which include

some tips and tools to help our groups and organizations evaluate their Safer Napier project, programme or initiative. The guidelines

aim to produce meaningful information to see if we are making a difference and provide information to inform other initiatives.

Opportunities

Napier is proud to be an accredited ISC. This has given the framework and credibility to deliver a broad and effective programme in

2012. The programme has attracted significant funding and support from agencies such as ACC, HBDHB, Police and Napier City

Council. The regular contact and cross sectional representation of the SNSG has meant value could be added to existing or planned

projects as well as the development of some targeted initiatives.

With the support of ACC funding to employ a dedicated Safer Napier Coordinator, we can continue to maintain the momentum of the

programme, set clear strategic goals, help with evaluations and continue to enhance collaboration and Safer Napier networks. The

Annual Safer Napier Workshop (see page two for details) is a good example and has ensured that our strategic plan incorporates the

community voice.

RBA continues to offer an easy to use, simple language, action based planning and evaluation tool. Members of the SNSG attended RBA

training at the start of the year and this has helped to further embed it into our way of thinking and doing.

The World Safety Conference was a great opportunity, as mentioned earlier, to share ideas and hear about some best practice projects.

We have valued the support of the other participating communities and will encourage these relationships to further develop over time.

The opportunities to collaborate with other Hawke’s Bay safe communities have been very valuable.

Safe Communities Foundation New Zealand (SCFNZ) Support

Napier has appreciated the ongoing support from SCFNZ throughout the year. The SCFNZ Regional Representative has been supportive

through regular contact and involvement at our annual strategic planning visioning session.

SCFNZ can further support Safer Napier by continuing the timely distribution of useful information and maintaining international

connections. The annual forum is a great opportunity for ISC to meet and share ideas and should be continued. Snapshot examples of

effective projects and interventions from other accredited ISC would be great to see.

Introduction

Napier is a vibrant coastal city that enjoys a lot of sunshine, a diverse culture and is a popular tourist location for both national and international visitors. People from Napier are proud of their community and strive to make it an even better place to live, work and visit. Safety is continually identified by Napier citizens as a high priority and as such is reflected in Napier’s Council and Community Outcomes.

As part of Napier’s commitment to improving community safety it was accredited as an International Safe Community in August 2010. This is a World Health Organisation (WHO) concept that recognizes safety as “a universal concern and a responsibility for all". This approach to community safety encourages greater cooperation and collaboration between non-government organisations, the business sector, and local and central government agencies.

Since accreditation, Safer Napier has achieved many outcomes. In 2011, there have been thirty collaborative projects and programmes implemented, 12,048 hours of Community Patrol, a reduction in the number of road crashes, and over one in three households where part of Neighbourhood Support.....to name a few.

This strategy focuses on six key areas – crime prevention, injury prevention, road safety, community resilience, alcohol related harm and collaboration. Priorities are set using both community feedback and statistical evidence.

Structure

Safer Napier is made up of a diverse group of agencies, organizations and community groups all working together to improve community safety. With two new safe communities (Hastings and Central Hawke’s Bay) being accredited and Wairoa in the process, a regional strategic group has been proposed to ensure a coordinated approach across Hawke’s Bay.

Safer Napier Strategic Group (SNSG) The SNSG oversees the Safer Napier programme which is coordinated by the Mayor and Napier City Council (as per ISC guidelines). It works on strategic and operational activities with a clear programme of work that aligns with the requirements of the Safe Communities accreditation programme. This group comprises local and central government agencies and NGOs3. The SNSG meets bimonthly and is supported by the coordinating agency (NCC). Reference groups Reference groups are established around priority areas to provide their specialist skills and expertise. They help with the priority areas of this strategy and help identify and select focus areas to be worked on each year. In addition, they may also collaborate to deliver activities that contribute the goals themselves. Membership and frequency of meetings is driven by each reference group. Community The reference groups and a broad range of community organisations meet annually. An update on the programme progress is delivered and an opportunity for input into the strategy and implementation is provided. Other opportunities for the wider Napier public to be informed and provide input into the plan are conducted throughout the year (e.g. Celebrate Safer Napier event).

Principles

The following principles guide the implementation of this strategy:

Collective action - the whole community has a role to play in crime prevention, injury prevention, road safety and community resilience.

Collaboration and coordination - central and local government, Iwi, non-government organisations, community organisations and safety networks work together for the benefit of the community.

Proactive action - where possible to anticipate and respond to issues within Napier.

Strategic Links

International Safe Communities Safer Napier is an accredited International Safe Community. International Safe Communities is a World Health Organisation (WHO) initiative recognising safety as “a universal concern and a responsibility for all”.

The WHO Safe Communities model creates an infrastructure in local communities for addressing safety and injury prevention initiatives through building local partnerships. The model is recognised world-wide as an effective intervention in safety promotion and injury prevention.

Safer Napier is due for re-accreditation in 2015.

Review This Strategy will be reviewed every three years. The implementation plan and annual activities will be revisited each year to ensure they remain relevant and reflect new or emerging issues that arise.

Strategic Direction Aim: Napier is a safe and healthy city

What does a safe Napier look and feel like? In 2012 Napier residents and representatives from over 35 community groups, organisations and agencies involved in improving community safety in Napier told as what a safe Napier looks and feels like. This is what they said;

Well-connected families/whanau, neighbourhoods and communities Safe, healthy homes and supportive families/whanau Young and old enjoying each other’s company Happy, healthy children

A community that takes pride in itself Safe roads Responsible drinking Communities support their schools and vice versa Greater industry and job opportunities4

What we want to achieve Based on the International Safer Communities framework, the community visioning exercise (above), local evidence and the Napier Safe Communities Strategy 2010 the SNSG have set the following six goals and the priorities and actions for 2013.

Goal 1: People in Napier feel safe Goal 2: People are injury free in Napier Goal 3: Napier roads are safe for all who use them Goal 4: People in Napier know how to keep themselves safe Goal 5: Napier is free from alcohol related harm Goal 6: Everyone works together to improve community safety in Napier
