Giving voice to tamariki and rangatahi in community organisations

28 July 2020 By commsresearch 3 Comments

We welcome Judge Becroft, Children’s Commissioner, who discusses how community organisations can focus on and respond to priorities for our tamariki and rangatahi. 

He shares insights into how children fared during the Covid-19 lockdown and examines what is needed in 2020/2021 to support our young people going forward.

About the Presenter

Judge Andrew Becroft

He is married with three children. Judge Becroft is a keen sports watcher, but he confesses, only an average (but enthusiastic) participant. He is strongly committed to a specialist approach to dealing with youth offenders and is an advocate for youth issues.

    Kia ora Community Research team, thank you for this excellent presentation. Speaking to Judge Becroft’s comments in Section 5 of his presentation regarding educational outcomes, we are also not aware of any research that has been done around prevalence of neuro-developmental conditions or disorders in Maori/Pasifika children in NZ. Our greater concern is that these children are not represented well within the families that we support or who are engaging with our services (either diagnosed or showing traits of Autism Spectrum Disorder). It remains a firm priority to find ways to better engage with and support these families but even referrals coming through from our local DHB’s do not tie up with population statistics. Until we know who these families are, we will struggle to engage with them and their children may struggle to reach their full potential or even live the full and happy life that all children deserve. Indeed, there is a great amount of research and funding required to rectify this inequity. Nga mihi nui, Jo Sutton, General Manager, Children’s Autism Foundation
