Getting Started
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.
Please note the WHO CCCSP had indicated that from 1 March 2012 the new ISC application forms and guidelines are compulsory for both new ISC applications and redesignation applications. As previously stated SCFNZ will begin aligning New Zealand documentation to incorporate these new guidelines/forms from February 2012 onwards. to view these guidelines please visit www.ki.se/csp/pdf/guidelines/guidelines_safe_community_application20111221.pdf
SCFNZ anticipates these changes and will update all relevant resources to align with any changes when the office opens in February 2012.
