Safe Network staff recently joined a global seminar on the impact of arrests for child sexual exploitation and abuse materials (CSEAM) on non-offending family members. Hosted by David Prescott on behalf of the Safer Society Foundation, Dr Elaine Kavanagh from the Republic of Ireland presented research highlighting the stigma and trauma experienced by family.

Safe Network works with many clients who have engaged in accessing and distributing CSEAM and welcomes this research which will help us strengthen the support we provide to both our clients and their families during very difficult times.

Safe Network and Family Action are pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to work together to enhance services for clients and their whanau.

Both agencies have a strong history of commitment to reducing sexual violence and its impacts on the community, and the MOU provides the basis for increased cooperation in a number of areas. Signed by CEOs, John Woodward and Michelle Clayton, the new MOU includes a commitment to enhanced coordination and co-location of services for children and young people.

As a result, Safe Network is now providing services for children at Family Action’s Henderson premises, improving access and availability for clients based in West Auckland.

Safe Network has started providing appointments for children and young people under 16, at Family Action’s premises at 197 Universal Drive, Henderson. This has improved the accessibility and availability of services for people in West Auckland and reduced the need to travel into the city for appointments.
Safe Network now offers services for children and young people at a number of sites across Auckland, including Grafton, Windsor Park, Manukau and now, Henderson.

Safe Network wishes all our community a Merry Christmas. The past year has seen us work with over 800 clients and their families, helping them live safer, healthier and more balanced lives.

We want to acknowledge and thank those Government agencies that make this possible through their funding and support, including Oranga Tamariki/Ministry for Children, Department of Corrections and Ministry of Social Development. Without the long-term commitment and support of these organisations, it would not be possible to do what we do.

May Christmas be a time of refreshment, reflection and hope for everyone in our community.

Safe Network offices will all be closed over the Christmas and New Year period from Monday 22nd December 2025 through to Friday 9th January 2026. During this time there will be no one available at any of our offices to take calls or respond to emails.

If you need immediate help or support for a crisis, please contact the most suitable service. The following may be helpful for you.

Referring young people to Safe Network has just got easier with our new online referral form for youth clients aged 13-17 years. The online form replaces the previous PDF form that required printing off or emailing.

With better security around the client’s personal information, the new online form helps ensure we get all the information we need to review the referral, reducing the need to contact referrers with queries for follow up.

The form can be accessed on https://zurl.co/1iByq with various links at other places on the site.

16/11/2025

Dyadic Developmental Practice (DDP) is a model we use at Safe Network to support children to recover from trauma and disrupted attachments through parenting, education and therapy. A second cohort of our clinicians have recently attended Level 1 DDP training to develop their skills in supporting parents and caregivers to:

▪️ensure that the child and their behaviour is understood, and that the child feels as safe as is possible at home, in school, and in social activities.

▪️support those who are involved in parenting the child to develop the most effective ways of helping and supporting the child, to manage behaviours that are concerning to the child and to others.

▪️support the child to develop as much attachment security as is possible through consistent and attuned parenting, having a safe place to live in a home that is as permanent as possible.

▪️be proactive with foster and adoptive families, and the networks around them, in promoting the most effective supports and interventions to be in place for the child and the parent(s), such as educational, social, practical as well as therapeutic.

▪️enable whoever is in the most permanent, safest, consistent and attuned primary parenting role with the child, understand the child in the context of their history and experiences.

Our aim, through DDP is to help parents and caregivers to feel safe and connected through the development of healthy patterns of relating and communicating, and staying emotionally connected with their children, especially through times of challenging behaviour.

Delivering Results

Our focus at Safe Network is on helping our clients develop skills and strategies that will keep themselves and others safe from concerning or harmful sexual behaviour. Every client is different, and we tailor therapy to their individual needs.

Feedback across all client age groups confirms the benefits of this approach for improving client’s skills and reducing risk for the future.
