CAB Awareness Week 9th - 15th March 2020

Jessica Brown from Citizens Advice Bureau Te Awamutu

Today marks the start of "CAB Awareness Week"

With the increasing digitisation of government processes and the withdrawal of public counter services, we want to highlight the role the CAB plays in responding to people’s needs and supporting inclusion in society. While some services are getting harder to access, the CAB is there for people in a way that works for them – whether it’s face to face, by phone or online.

This is the basis of our Awareness Week theme which is “We’re here”. We see this as an opportunity to reinforce the many ways that the CAB is here for people e.g.:

> To help
> For free
> For everyone
> Whatever your problem
> Face to face, kanohi ki te kanohi
> Online - website, online chat
> In the local community
> To advocate on issues
> For your rights
> For young and old
> For migrants

Poll: Do you use the district nursing service?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The health system has been accused of breaking the law amid sky-rocketing demand for community-based nurses in Waikato.

This comes as the supply of district nurses lags behind referral increases of more than 100%, leading to staff burn out and an “unprecedented” service failure.

Do you use the district nursing service? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
