Company description:
The coordinated approach to Injury Prevention in North Shore City began with the North Harbour Injury Prevention Group, which started in 1994 as an informal coalition focused primarily on child safety. This group then formed the ACC Community Injury Prevention Pilot Programme Group (CIPP). At this point the group evolved into ShoreSafe. In 2001 this ACC pilot was dis-continued due to restructuring within ACC. ShoreSafe elected to continue with the group and safety initiatives in the community.
ShoreSafe evolved with the formation of working groups focused on key areas of North Shore injury prevention.
These groups include:
• ShoreSafe Older Adults Falls Prevention Working Group;
• ShoreSafe Children Working Group;
• ShoreSafe Road Safety Team.
ShoreSafe has primarily focused on un-intentional injuries in certain areas of North Shore City. These three ShoreSafe working groups are responsible for their specific area of injury prevention. These groups cover: Children, Road and Older Adults. The working groups generally provide support and run projects in key areas that are lacking at a local, regional or national level in North Shore City. ShoreSafe has links with a number of community groups which deal in other areas of injury prevention from both intentional and unintentional areas.
