The Palmerston Kids Network (PKN) brings together a dedicated group of professionals from various organisations committed to delivering essential services and programs for children aged 0-12 and their families. PKN meetings offer a vital platform for collaboration, allowing members to exchange information, address community concerns, and spark innovative initiatives. These gatherings are an excellent opportunity for sector updates, enabling the sharing of valuable resources and insights that benefit the entire community.
The network members commit to:
- Share information about programs and initiatives
- Share success stories and showcase best practice
- Discuss identified gaps and need
- Build relationships and make connections
- Participate in community engagement and capacity-building opportunities
- Meet regularly
- Access sector/professional development (annual conference/training)
- Maintain awareness of funding opportunities
- Take opportunities to lobby, advocate and influence policy
Membership will require regular attendance at meetings and active interest in the promotion of the health and well-being of children. Service providers who have an interest in addressing childhood health and well-being including injury, accidents and safety issues are welcome to participate.
