An update about shared care and contact.

With the country now in level 4, many of you will be wondering what to do when it comes to shared care or contact. Communication with the other parent is key during these times and, as always, any decisions should be made in the best interest of the children.

If families are in the same communities then contact can continue except where:

The child is unwell;
Someone in either home is unwell; or
Someone involved in either home has been overseas in the last 14 days or has been a close contact of someone who has Covid-19 or is being tested for it.

Where families are in different communities or towns, the safety of the children and their families should not be compromised, especially if there are more than 2 families involved. If contact cannot occur then it is expected alternative forms of contact will eg Facetime or phone calls.

The Principal Family Court Judge set out guidelines during the last level 4 lockdown. You can read this in full here: https://www.districtcourts.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/Media-Releases/24-March-2020-Children-in-shared-care.pdf

As family court lawyers this is a more than common story - come and get some advice about your situation rather than taking matters into your own hands.

This is one of the most powerful articles written from a woman’s perspective about being in prison.

Our country needs to really look at prisons and what it can do to assist any person in prison.

Anyone who is keen to get their truck licence - I would encourage you to check out the Howard league.

100 Truckers: Growing our workforce

The NZ Howard League has set ourselves a new challenge; to create 100 new truck drivers to help grow the economy in a world-wide pandemic.

Howard League CEO Mike Williams says with our borders closed to so much of the migrant workforce that New Zealand depends on, now is the time to invest resources in our own people who may have been overlooked in the past.

The HL Driving Programme works with Community Corrections to help ex-prisoners and offenders obtain driving licences and from there move into work.

Mike Williams says New Zealand has labour shortages in horticulture, agriculture, infrastructure and transportation especially in the provinces.

“For the cost of keeping one person in prison for a year we can train around 100 people to Class 2 to 5 licences (that’s big trucks and really big trucks to lay people) as well as providing training in Wheels, Tracks and Rollers so they can operate road works and farm machinery, and forklifts.

“Once someone has these licences they are almost guaranteed to get well paid jobs anywhere in the country” says Mike Williams.

The NZ Howard League runs 17 driving programmes around the North Island; 14 funded by the Provincial Growth Fund and three by NZTA Waka Kotahi. To date the programme has generated over 6000 Class 1 (car) driving licences.

According to Impact Lab, a social research company headed by Sir Bill English, every dollar invested in the Howard League Driving Programme results in $3.26 returned to New Zealand.

There is an increasing number of women being sent to prison - we need to offer help and assistance not just punishment so we don’t end up in a cycle. Perhaps the government could spend some money on the key factors of assistance and help.
