Resources &
Education
Pillars Ka Pou Whakahou has resources and educational material on the criminal justice system. We have multiple resources to better support and understand the lived experience of children and families of people in prison. We are open to more opportunities to join the wider criminal justice conversation and welcome further korero on internal resources that can be made available.
The Bill of Rights for Tamariki Impacted by Whānau Incarceration
"The Bill of Rights for Tamariki Impacted by Whānau Incarceration" is a groundbreaking resource. Developed by Ngā Rangatira Mō Āpōpō (Leaders for Tomorrow – Youth Advisory Panel), this document reflects their voices, their realities, and their vision for the future.
We invite you to explore, share, and implement this document in your mahi. By embedding these principles into your work, you can be part of a community where every child has the support they need to a create positive future.
