Collective Impact Board

The Collective Impact Board (the Board) was established in May 2021 and made up of agency and community representatives to provide advice and recommendations to the Kaiwhakaoranga Service and its partners to help inform the wrap-around services and support to the affected community of the 15 March Terrorist Attack. The Board formally ended in November 2023.

The Board was established in line with Recommendation 26 of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Christchurch terrorist attack on 15 March 2019.  


Recommendation 26: Investigate establishing a Collective Impact Network and Board or other relevant mechanism that enables Public sector agencies, non-government organisations and affected whānau, survivors and witnesses to agree a specific work programme to provide ongoing wrap-around services to affected whānau, survivors and witnesses.


The Collective Impact Board had two key aims:

  1. To provide advice and recommendations to the Kaiwhakaoranga Service ('the Service'), partners and other agencies on wrap-around services to support the needs of the community (e.g., health, education).
  2. Create an insights and recommendations report (formerly referred to as the Best Practice Guide) that can help inform wrap-around services and support should a tragedy of this nature happen again.
