Learning Objectives:
  1. Discuss what New Zealand’s people identified needs to happen to address child abuse and domestic violence.
  2. Describe the challenges associated with living through a controversial national inquiry.
  3. Explain the challenges of weaving together peoples stories to articulate their contribution.
Description:
The Glenn Inquiry went to the New Zealand people and asked, “If New Zealand was leading the world in addressing child abuse and domestic violence, what would that look like?” More than 500 people affected by child abuse and domestic violence shared their stories, their hopes and ways to child abuse and domestic violence. I will share key findings arising from this independent report along with insights in bringing together the so many stories to write the People’s Report.
