Official Information Act responses throw up interesting stats.

See these tables regarding Temporary Protection Orders going final because they went undefended, compare that to Temporary Protection Orders that were defended.

Defending is definitely worth the effort. You will learn a lot about the process, and more importantly you will also learn an awful lot about yourself.

A good lawyer will give you the proper legal advice. Our KND team can give you the support and strategy to manage the protection order, as well as coaching you to work towards an eventual discharge. But you will have to put in the work.

We can also assist by providing supervised contact to keep meaningful contact occuring between child and parent.

If you are a parent that requires this education and support, please contact our team.

Welcome back, it's 2026 and we are back to providing regular peer-support for our clients.

Our Tuesday evening local meetings continue to be held at 7.00pm every week, join us there at 538 Fraser Street in Greerton. Our good friends at Good Bi***es Baking provide the baking.

There are a few changes to our National Online Peer-Support Meeting on Thursday evenings (7.30pm start). We are no longer delivering via Zoom and will change to Teams. A pre-meeting check-in form will get you into the meeting:

There is also a link for these meetings on our homepage at www.knd.org.nz

This change is a reflection that the peer-support we deliver to our dads also acts as a powerful su***de prevention service. The coaching and tools we provide also helps to prevent family violence and keep everyone safe.
