Getting Started

Up one level
The Safe Communities Foundation New Zealand (SCFNZ) has been established to work collaboratively with other key stakeholders to further support the development of injury prevention and safety promotion. It will provide an opportunity for all relevant stakeholders to increase action on injury prevention and safety promotion. As part of this process the SCFNZ will be assisting communities to consider working toward accreditation as either an International Safe Community of the WHO Safe Community Network, or a Pacific Safe Community.
Getting Started Criteria and Process for Accreditation as an International Safe Community
 
Getting Started Criteria and Process for Re-accreditation as an International Safe Community
Re-application to retain Safe Community status is required every five years. Communities need to be active members of the International Safe Community (ISC) movement. They must have submitted their ISC annual reports.
Getting Started Criteria and Process for Accreditation as a Pacific Safe Community
This information is provided for communities applying for accreditation by SCFNZ as a Pacific Safe Community. Communities that fall outside the more comprehensive International Safe Community indicators (see www.phs.ki.se/csp) and are geographically located within the South Pacific region are eligible to apply. For example: communities with limited resources; those wishing to focus their efforts on specific safety issues; those who are based on a community of interest model; or those who may not have local authority buy-in, may decide that Pacific Safe Community Accreditation is a more attainable goal. SCFNZ encourages communities to use this Pacific accreditation as a stepping-stone to ISC accreditation (see SCFNZ factsheet #2 for further details).
