Welfare policy

Glen from Central Whangarei

I have emailed this to the top five political parties

I intend to ask all political parties to respond to a report I have written on disabled people and marginalisation in New Zealand. A Comprehensive Analysis by Glen McMillan
I have produced five books. Some are now used as training manuals; all are available as e-books or PDF downloads from my website, www.childrenwithdisability.co.nz....
My book, Disabled People and Marginalisation in New Zealand, contains facts and statistics on the connection between crime and disability. I have used appropriate illustrations.
I would like you to please read the book or PDF. It is full of facts and statistics with links to government websites. I would also like you to read the other four books if you want to be in government. These are issues that need attention.
Five books
1# Disabled People and Marginalisation in New Zealand A Comprehensive Analysis by Glen McMillan
2: Inclusive Beginnings: Preparing Schools for Children with Diverse Abilities An Effective Guide by Glen McMillan 2023
3: Transitioning young disabled people into the workforce An effective guide by Glen McMillan
#4: The top ten most common learning disabilities
#5: Mysteries of the Human Body A Journey into Rare Disorders
All are available here. www.childrenwithdisability.co.nz...

Civic Honour Awards 2024

The Team from Whangarei District Council

Congratulations to Jenni Moore, Marilyn Cox, Don McDonald-Spice, and Dr George Perera; the 4 recipients of our 2024 Civic Honour Awards. A Civic Honour is the highest award we can bestow, recognising outstanding voluntary service to the community.
🏅🏅🏅🏅

Between them Dr Perera, Marilyn, Don and Jenni have served the widest needs of diverse communities - medical, social, cultural, artistic, environmental and much more. They have shown a deep understanding of people, issues, and the enormous relief and sometimes joy, that a helping hand can provide. Each is an example of the best each of us can offer to the community in our lifetime. It is a privilege to give the recognition they deserve, and we'll be telling you more about each of their stories in the coming weeks.

Do you know someone else who deserves this recognition? Nominations are now open for next year's ceremony, and must be made by 1 May 2025: www.wdc.govt.nz...
