Comments

Bus driver training DVD

We are waiting for a revised DVD to review. Note that this DVD will be for Auckland and Christchurch bus drivers as it’s a joint project between Auckland Transport and Christchurch City Council.

Electric train doors

There are three problems with these new on demand opening doors.

• Trailing the carriage wall so close to the platform edge is time-consuming and potentially unsafe.

• If you are hurrying, the chances of errors and accidents increase.

• If you have a hearing impairment you may not hear the sounds of the doors well enough over the other ambient sounds.

From the inside of the carriage

• You need to know which side of the carriage to get off as onboard announcements don't tell you.

• There are two buttons on the door open pole. You have to know and remember to push the bottom one, not the first button your hand comes to.

It would be preferable for the doors to open and close automatically.

Terms of reference of the CPAG

We approved in principle the terms of reference. However we encouraged AT to include a comment about involvement in accessibility during the tendering and procurement process.

We minuted a strong concern about a disconnect between the PTAG and CPAG groups.

Footpath repairs

Prompted by a request from Vivian Naylor from CCS Disability Action, we received a presentation from Euan Ross of Auckland Transport (AT). Vivian was concerned about the reinstatement of footpaths after the installation of ultra-fast broadband.

Euan commented that Auckland Transport inherited footpaths from Auckland City Council in a generally poor state of repair. He explained that AT has no resources to follow up whether their contractors are correctly handling repairs and reinstatement of footpaths. AT relies on the public to complain. Euan asked us to tell the call centre that we are disabled and, if necessary, to request the problem be fixed urgently (within four hours). Auckland Transport welcomes photographs of problems.

Turning to ultra-fast broadband, Euan said that AT now works with Chorus to have them put back the footpaths not just the way they were, but to go the extra mile and restore them to the current standards AT has set for footpaths. Commenting on contractors in general, Euan explained they are expected to not only help pedestrians, but also to assist the posties to get the mail delivered and the rubbish people to pick up and put back the bins.

Accessibility at the Westfield and Takanini of Railway Station Platforms

The Westfield Station is inaccessible for wheelchair users and there are accessibility issues for wheelchair users at the Takanini station.

AT acknowledges that both stations have problems with their platforms. Takanini will be fixed although we do not know the timeframe for this work. AT's board is making a decision on whether or not to close Westfield Station. If it is kept open, the platform will be improved.

Visit by Auckland Transport Representatives

On 11 May 2015, David Tribe and Robert Lipka from AT will be addressing the DAP as a follow up to previous transport related discussions and the letter received by DAP from the Auckland Branch of Blind Citizens NZ. The resolution passed by DAP was:

Noting Council's legal obligations to people with disabilities under legislation such as the Human Rights Act 1993 and the Bill of Rights 1990, and Council's own policies which promote the inclusion, participation and independence of people with disabilities in society, and noting also that Council Controlled Organisations in carrying out their public functions have similar legal obligations; The panel calls on Auckland Council to advise the panel on how it ensures Council Controlled Organisations such as Auckland Transport, through the authority delegated to them, meet such obligations and comply with Council policies; calls on Auckland Transport to advise what actions with associated time frames are in place to ensure it meets its legal obligations to people with disability, and the objectives of its own disability policy; asks Auckland Transport to respond to the Panel on how it is handling each concern raised by the Auckland Branch of Blind Citizens NZ.

Item 6 - Disability Action Plan Scope

File No.: CP2015/05651

Purpose

1. To seek feedback from the Disability Advisory Panel (the panel) on the scope and process for developing a disability action plan, including the proposed approach to engaging with people with disabilities.

Executive Summary

2. As requested at the March 2015 Disability Advisory Panel meeting, this report outlines a scope and process for the development of a disability action plan.

3. The purpose of the action plan is to identify a range of practical and achievable actions within the wider council family that builds on what council is already doing to deliver positive outcomes for people living with disabilities.

4. The scope of the work will involve a review and stocktake of existing policies and plans to identify what council is already doing, potential gaps and opportunities to improve and develop new actions.

5. As part of the development process, staff propose that engagement with the disability sector consist of:

· working closely with three nominated members of the panel throughout the process

· establishing an external disability focus group, for the purposes of targeted consultation with members of the disability sector

· holding a workshop with all panel members and providing a complete draft disability action plan to their meeting in December 2015.

6. The proposed date for the completion of the disability action plan is December 2015.

Recommendation/s

That the Disability Advisory Panel:

a) provide feedback to staff on the scope and process for developing a disability action plan, including the proposal to run targeted external focus groups with people with disabilities.

Comments

Background and context

7. In March 2014, the panel made a submission to Auckland Council calling for the development of a comprehensive disability strategy. This submission drew attention to a number of areas within the wider Auckland Council family’s sphere of control that significantly impacts on the quality of life of people with disabilities, including public transport, urban design, events and communications.

8. Staff provided a point by point response to this submission at the panel’s meeting in March 2015, and also confirmed they would develop a disability action plan. The panel supported the proposal to develop a disability action plan and nominated three panel members to work directly with staff and provide advice on the action plan.

9. The panel’s submission and staff’s response noted that the wider council family has already made a number of commitments to ensuring their services meet the needs of people with disabilities. The action plan will therefore build on existing commitments outlined in a range of council policies and plans, and seek to address any gaps by the development of new actions.

10. Recognising the financial constraints Auckland Council is operating under, the action plan will need to be developed within existing budgets in the current Long-Term Plan 2015-2025.

Consideration

Scope

11. The disability action plan will include actions that:

· build on what the wider council family is already doing, or have committed to do, to deliver positive outcomes for people with disabilities

· are the responsibility of the wider council family

· are practical and achievable

· relate to a range of the wider council family’s activities including transport, housing, urban design, community facilities, events and communications

· contribute to the outcomes of accessible environments, transport, communications and civic participation

· address gaps between existing council commitments and outcomes sought, through the development of new actions if required.

12. The disability action plan will also include information on:

· timeframes

· how the actions will be monitored and reported on

· identification of whom within the wider council family is responsible for the action.

Process

13. The draft disability action plan will be developed by undertaking:

· a review and stocktake of existing policies and plans for the purposes of identifying existing actions and commitments

· desktop analysis of existing information relating to the experiences of people living with disabilities and examples of best practice

· identification of gaps between existing actions and outcomes sought

· development of new draft actions to address these gaps

· targeted engagement with the disability community (as outlined below).

14. Council staff consider that this is an efficient approach, as it builds on existing work and utilises the relevant skills and knowledge available within the disability community and wider council family.

Engagement with the disability community

15. Staff have considered three options for how the disability community could be involved in the development of the action plan. All of these options would involve working closely with the nominated three panel members and further engagement with the panel as a whole. The options are:

16. Option One: Targeted engagement (recommended option).

This would be targeted engagement with a small external focus group of people with disabilities that meet at key times throughout the process. The benefits of this option are:

· development of an external focus group provides an opportunity to complement the experiences and knowledge of members of the disability panel

· it is practical and achievable in terms of cost and time

· it is easier to mitigate the risk of raising unrealistic expectations when working with a smaller group.

17. Option Two: Broad consultation.

This option would enable all members of the disability community to have input. While this would allow a much broader range of views to be heard, it could add considerable time and cost to the process. There could also be potential risk of raising unrealistic expectations concerning the scope of the action plan.

18. Option Three: Engagement with the three nominated panel members and the panel as a whole.

While this would be the most time and cost efficient option, the limitation of this approach is that it does not provide a mechanism for considering experiences and perspectives beyond those available on the panel.

19. A summary of the key deliverables and milestones is outlined in the table below. This assumes option one in terms of engagement.

Deliverables	Timeframes
Council project team established	May 2015
External disability focus group established and first workshop held with nominated members of the disability advisory panel and council staff	June 2015
Draft disability action plan developed for targeted engagement	June – October 2015
Draft disability action plan workshopped with the disability advisory panel	October 2015
Draft disability action plan workshopped with the external disability focus group and nominated panel members	October 2015
Draft disability action plan workshopped with the local board chairs (TBC)	November 2015
Draft disability action plan reported to the disability advisory panel	December 2015
Draft disability action plan reported for approval	December 2015

Local Board views and implications

20. A common theme across local board plans is building a sense of belonging where people from all walks of life feel valued and can connect with each other.

21. Local board implications will depend on the identified actions to be developed and any accessible plan of the local board. As people with disabilities are impacted at the local board level, feedback would be sought from local boards if actions are identified that would have an impact on their work programmes or budgets.

Māori impact statement

22. The disability action plan is being developed with a view to making a positive impact on people living with disabilities in Auckland. This is inclusive of all cultures, including Maori.

Implementation

23. There are no implementation issues with this report.

Item 8 - Development Auckland

File No.: CP2015/08344

Purpose

1. The purpose of this report is to inform the Disability Advisory Panel on the objectives of Development Auckland.

Executive Summary

2. On 11 May 2015 Rose Leonard, Principal Advisor, will present to the Panel on Development Auckland.

3. Further information is attached:

At its meeting on 30 March 2015, the Disability Advisory Panel realised that it lacks information about the objectives of Development Auckland and how it could deliver accessible housing which meets the needs of people with disabilities. Nevertheless, the Panel provided the following advice to Council regarding Development Auckland:

Development Auckland: Auckland Council has a great opportunity to show leadership through a single Development Auckland agency, particularly because accessibility provisions in the Building Act and Code are outdated and currently do not apply to private dwellings. The Disability Advisory Panel supports the concept of Development Auckland on the basis that Development Auckland could increase the supply of accessible housing in Auckland. However, it is critical that accessibility and universal design are fundamental principles that guide all development of Council owned property. If the Property and Waterfront agencies merge, then the new CCO Statements of Intent and other KPRs should reflect the new entity's obligation to remain responsive to the needs of people of all ages and abilities.

4. The Panel has requested more information about Development Auckland and is particularly interested in a conversation about the supply of appropriate levels of accessible housing in relation to developments that it is involved in. The Panel is requesting a senior person to attend a Panel meeting to provide this information and have a discussion.

Recommendation/s

That the Disability Advisory Panel:

a) thank Rose Leonard for her presentation on Development Auckland.

Item 9 - Multi-sector action plan to prevent family, whanau and sexual violence in Auckland

File No.: CP2015/06761

Purpose

1. To inform the Disability Advisory Panel on the development of the multi-sector action plan to prevent family, whānau and sexual violence in Auckland.

2 To seek feedback on what achievable actions could be taken to prevent violence against. disabled people.

Executive Summary

3. The Auckland Plan acknowledges the significant impact of family, whānau and sexual violence. New Zealand’s rates of violence are some of the highest in the OECD. Disabled People are at significantly higher risk of being targeted for abuse and violence. Unlike for other communities, disabled boys and men experience both physical and sexual violence in large numbers.

4. In early May, representatives from central Government, the family, whānau and sexual violence sector, the community and council will meet to develop an action plan to prevent family, whānau and sexual violence in Auckland. The plan will be collectively owned.

5. Council staff are also organising a forum, with members of the disability family and sexual violence sector, to explore what achievable actions could be taken to prevent family, whānau and sexual violence.

Recommendation/s

That the Disability Advisory Panel:

a) receive the report.

Background

6. New Zealand’s rates of violence against women and children are among the highest in the OECD. Across New Zealand, family violence accounts for 50% of all murders, three quarters of serious assaults, two thirds of all assaults, and one third of sexual assaults. One in four children is thought to witness family violence. One in four female youth and one in eight male youth experience sexual abuse. One in three Auckland women will experience physical or sexual violence from a partner in their lifetime. International research suggests that 50–90% of disabled women have experienced violence. Disabled boys and men also experience both physical and sexual violence in large numbers.

7. A multi-sector action plan to prevent family, whānau and sexual violence in Auckland is being developed in partnership with central government and the family, whānau and sexual violence sector. The plan will be collectively owned with council having a facilitation and support role.

8. The key partners have agreed the plan needs to have a strong focus on preventing violence from occurring (primary prevention) while continuing work to reduce risk for at-risk families and whānau (secondary prevention), and ensuring victims are kept safe and perpetrators are held accountable for their actions and supported to change their behaviour (tertiary prevention).

9. A summary of work to date and the key areas of action identified can be found in Attachment A: “Tāmaki Makaurau – E Tu! The Strategic Approach to Violence Prevention in Auckland”. Please note this is a living document and is being regularly updated.

Current Focus

10. In early May, representatives from Central Government, the family, whānau and sexual violence sector, the community and Auckland Council will meet to turn the key areas of action identified into an implementation plan.

11. In preparation for this meeting, community stakeholders from parts of Auckland experiencing higher rates of violence are being invited to discuss the nine identified areas of action and to each select two representatives to participate in the plan’s development.

12. Disabled people have been identified as one of the key groups for consultation on the implementation plan. Council staff are also organising a forum, with members of the disability family and sexual violence sector, to explore what achievable actions could be taken to prevent family, whānau and sexual violence.

13. Feedback on the following questions is being sought:

· What are some achievable actions Auckland could take to address inequity and exclusion in your community?

· How can we better support people within your community who are at risk of experiencing or using violence or who are currently experiencing or using violence?

· How can we best work together to prevent violence in Auckland?

· Where are the greatest opportunities to take action around violence prevention in your community?

· Considering the nine key actions identified in the ‘Strategic Approach’ document, what are the areas of action that you, your organisation or network are most likely to be interested in contributing to, being a part of, or enabling.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

14. In June 2014, an information briefing was held for all local board members. From October – December 2014, individual and cluster workshops were held for all boards that expressed interest. A memo is being drafted to all local boards providing an update on the plan development and the community forums being organised. Local boards will also have the opportunity to provide formal feedback on the plan.

Māori impact statement

15. A Tangata Whenua caucus has been established and the caucus has developed a framework to support the multi-sector action plan. This framework will soon be presented to the Independent Māori Statutory Board, manawhenua and other key stakeholders.

Implementation

16. A timeline for development and implementation of a plan to prevent family, whānau and sexual violence in Auckland is being developed, with implementation planned from July 2015.
