MECOSS Services Update

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

The Government has decided to extend Alert Level 2.5 in Auckland and to also keep the rest of the country at Alert Level 2.
The continuation of suspended MECOSS services include:
1). Dance Yourself Happy
2). Manukau East Shopping Shuttle
3). Botany & Flat Bush & Ormiston Community Networking Meeting
Cabinet will review the settings again on Monday 21 September with a view to increasing gathering limits in Auckland ( if it is safe), which would come into effect at midnight on 23 September.
We will advise you as soon possible whether the new settings will allow the MECOSS AGM to go ahead on Thursday 1 October.

Kōnae: Find Your Records

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

If you want to know how to request records about you or your whānau visit Kōnae: My Records Guide konae.org.nz.

Kōnae has information on more than 60 state and faith-based organisations that have records for over 800 homes and places in Aotearoa New Zealand about people who have been in their guardianship or care.

The Kōnae map shows past and present places in Aotearoa New Zealand like children’s homes, hospitals, orphanages, boarding schools, Youth Justice facilities and many more.

Each place on the map has details about who was responsible for running it and how to get records.

The map can be searched and filtered by
- name
- location
- date range
- religion
- type of organisation.

If you want support to use the website or to find your records, you can get in touch with your local CAB on 0800 367 222, email or message via cab.org.nz, or visit a CAB near you cab.org.nz/find-a-cab

Accessing records can bring up a range of emotions, we encourage you to take care of your wellbeing. You can find suggestions of support at konae.org.nz/support
