About the Safer Whanganui project
This page has links to background information on the Safer Whanganui project – its framework and partners, group roles and responsibilities and methodology.
Overview of the project
This is the Safety Plan for the Safer Whanganui project – a community-owned, Council-mandated project aimed at Whanganui District becoming a designated International Safe Community (ISC) in 2010. The ISC model recognises safety as a universal concern and a responsibility for all. Part of the project is also linked to the New Zealand Injury Prevention Strategy 2003 (NZIPS03).

Project framework and partners
The Safer Whanganui framework includes a Steering Group and six Reference Groups. Each group contains a wide range of Whanganui-based government, non-government and Iwi/Māori organisations across a variety of sectors.

Methodology
The Safer Whanganui project used the evidence-based Results Based Accountability (RBA) tool to identify the desired results and will use the same tool to monitor progress toward achieving those results. RBA is a planning tool that helps communities identify what success will look like, and how they will know when it’s been achieved.
