We cannot achieve our outcomes on our own.  We will continue to develop strong relationships with a diverse range of partners including Pacific communities and providers.

Good partnerships will be seen in our work both directly with offenders, and also with offenders’ family and communities.  We will work collaboratively with other Government agencies, Pacific families, community members and volunteers.

Progress to date
Effective Interventions is a justice sector approach that includes measures to address offending and re-offending and reduce the growth in the prison population.
A key element of this has been the Pacific Programme of Action.

We are actively engaging with Pacific families and communities to help us in our efforts with Pacific offenders.  For example, Pacific Advisory Groups have been established in a number of areas to support Pacific specific initiatives and the reintegration of Pacific prisoners back into communities.

Looking forward
Good partnerships will be seen in our work both directly with offenders, and also with offenders’ families and communities.  We will work collaboratively with other Government agencies, Pacific families, providers, communities and volunteers.

What progress will look like
We will know we are successful when we see:

  • mutually beneficial relationships with Pacific service providers and other Pacific community groups
  • timely and appropriate support and services delivered by other agencies and those involved with Pacific offenders in the community
  • the involvement of Pacific families in our business continues.
