About Us

The Collective Impact Board was established in May 2021 and is made up of agency and community representatives. The Board was established in line with Recommendation 26 of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Christchurch terrorist attack on 15 March 2019.   The Collective Impact Board provides advice and recommendations to the Kaiwhakaoranga Service, and its partners, to help inform the wrap-around services and support provided to the affected community.

Background

The Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Christchurch terrorist attack has made recommendations to support the on-going recovery needs of affected whānau, survivors and witnesses.

The Royal Commission recommended setting up a Collective Impact Board, which is Recommendation 26.

Recommendation 26: Investigate establishing a Collective Impact Network and Board or other relevant mechanism that enables Public sector agencies, non-government organisations and affected whānau, survivors and witnesses to agree a specific work programme to provide ongoing wrap-around services to affected whānau, survivors and witnesses.

The Board brings community and  agencies together  to give advice and recommendations on the on-going wrap-around services provided  to the affected whānau survivors and witnesses  of the 15 March 2019 attack on Christchurch masjidain.

The Collective Impact Board provides advice and recommendations to the Kaiwhakaoranga Service and its partners to help inform the wrap-around services and support provided to the affected community. 

The Collective Impact Board was established on 25 May 2021 and is in place until May 2023.

Alongside government agency representatives, the community representatives make up the majority of the Collective Impact Board. They may be members of affected whānau or others from the affected community. The community representatives were selected and appointed through a nominations process. The Board appointed their Chair at their first meeting on 9 June 2021.
