a little about me and  the work I’ve  been involved in  …from our World Community Services Director

Janette Searle is a serial social entrepreneur with a passion for creating sustainable social change through cross sector collaboration.  A mouthful, however, she’s put that into practice when he co-founded a collective impact initiative focused on improving  educational outcomes for West Auckland’s most  at risk and vulnerable young people.  Supported by the West Auckland Secondary School Principals’ charitable trust (Achieving @ Waitakere),  they developed a key body of work under that initiative called Managed Moves which addresses barriers to education by bringing together  schools, agencies and organisations that provide supports for young people.   Managed Moves has been operating in West Auckland over over six years, with  fantastic outcomes for the young people in that community. they were recognised in 2021 as finalists in the Prime Ministers Excellence  in Education Award’s Leadership category. 
In 2022 the model is growing.  Not only in West Auckland but in other communities around Auckland (Northshore, Central Auckland and Kaipara).  Interest has also been expressed in Managed Moves from Northland, Tauranga and  Nelson.
