A. Julie Sach – Tuatoko Mai Sexual Harm Support Services Trust
· Tuatoko Mai Sexual Harm Support Services Trust had been working in the ‘sexual harm’ space for a long time but now had a clear vision of wanting to work in the prevention space. It also worked very closely with Shakti.
· Target groups were refugee and migrant communities. It was known that sexual harm was happening in these communities but that no one reached out for help.
· Dr Val Cheah, a forensic doctor (who was unable to attend tonight) had been working with Tuatoko Mai Sexual Harm Support Services to build a strategy on how to approach these communities and what the workshops should look like in terms of health and well-being, with a sexual harm aspect being subtly built in.
· The services was looking for funding for the cost of venue hire, catering and flyers.
B. Cr Richard Crawford
· Cr Crawford thanked the Board members who had helped with the emergency management centre during the weather event. He felt it was important to look at the future of the response team, reconnect with some people and on board more people.
· He reiterated the importance of the Te Puke Community Board and the Maketu Community Board working together and that they were very closely connected.
· He suggested a meeting be arranged going forward to discuss what the future of the response team looked like.
The Chairperson thanked Cr Crawford for his attendance tonight and agreed to arrange a meeting to discuss the response team going forward.
C. Cr Alan Sole
· Cr Sole expressed it was great to meet the Te Puke Community Board and acknowledged the work it had done in the past and was continuing to do in the present.
