A guide to developing a Safe Community: Resource number two: September, 2005.

This guide states that the Safe Communities Foundation of New Zealand (SCFNZ) has: "... been established to work collaboratively with other key stakeholders to support the further development of community-based safety promotion and injury prevention. Additionally, recent changes in Government’s commitment to injury prevention are demonstrated by the development of the New Zealand Injury Prevention Strategy (NZIPS), launched in June, 2003 (website: www.nzips.govt.nz). The NZIPS provides a strategic framework for injury prevention and safety promotion activity in New Zealand. The framework is a guide for action by a range of government agencies, local government, non-government organisations (such as the SCFNZ), communities and individuals. As implementation activities of the NZIPS increase, a key issue that has emerged and is critical to the long-term success of achieving the vision and goals of NZIPS, is integrating injury prevention and safety promotion activities through collaboration and co-ordination, particularly at the community level (Objective 5). SCFNZ has developed this resource to be a generic guide to the development of a Safe Community in New Zealand. It is intended to be a living document and SCFNZ anticipate that, depending on availability of resources, it will be updated as new information becomes available."
