Working with the New Zealand Police
SADD is committed to Empowering young Kiwis to prevent loss on our roads. Students need support from our road safety and community partners to help reduce road trauma on NZ roads. The New Zealand Police are a strong partner for SADD to help achieve our collective road safety goals.

SADD/ Kaitiaki o Ara & Police Pathways Programme
Since 2020 SADD/ Kaitiaki o Ara is contributing the road safety component to the PPP curriculum. It all started with a cluster workshop between four schools in Auckland and now has expanded nationwide. Any school that has the Police Pathways Program within their curriculum has the option to choose SADD/Kaitiaki o Ara as part of one of their Unit Standards.
SADD/Kaitiaki o Ara provides all the resources for the schools to use. The resources include guides, examples and videos to make it easy for anyone to facilitate the sessions. Wherever possible we have our local community partners coming along to any workshops or activities to support our shared vision.
