ABOUT US
Hi, I’m Tina. Lets safeguard children in Aotearoa together.
From decades in policing, I possess expert knowledge in Child Sexual Exploitation and genuinely passionate about fostering conversations on safeguarding to protect our tamariki (children) and rangatahi (young people) all across New Zealand. By doing so, we save our childrens future so they grow up and pass it on.

Child Safeguarding
The Abuse in Care Royal Commission Enquiry, https://www.abuseincare.org.nz/ is due to be completed in March 2024. It is expected that there will be the introduction of mandatory reporting of suspected child abuse within the recommendations.
Once legislation passes, this will require child safeguarding and child protection training for all agencies & NGO’s involved with Tamariki and Rangatahi. As a result, everyone who works with or interacts with children should know what safeguarding means and what to do.
- Do I understand Safeguarding?
- Would I be able to See The Signs that a child or young person is a victim and in need of Safeguarding?
- Would I know what to do if I believed I did See The Signs?
- Is my team up to date with their Safeguarding knowledge?

Client Reviews
‘Thank you for the presentation. It was good to learn more about CSE here in Aotearoa. I think everyone should attend this training. We are all part of communities; we can all add our bit to the prevention of CSE’
‘Huge thanks for your comprehensive presentation to the Child Health Team. There was certainly great discussioin and a lot of interest around this subject. We really appreciate you sharing your expertise with us’
‘I learnt more of the signs of CSE such as who the person is with. How under-prepared NZ is to prevent and deal with CSE. That CSE is much more prevalent in NZ than I thought it was’
'I am frequently working with young people who I can now say are being exploited. Before it was concerning and would seek advice, now I know what exactly it is I will be more assertive in my responses. I often have young girls in relationships with older men, often being provided drugs/alcohol, a roof over their heads, or acceptance in return for sex.'
'I would strongly recommend this workshop to anyone working with tamariki and rangatahi! It is very useful as most people including myself are not fully aware of how common child sexual exploitation is in NZ.'
