Accreditation
Yes, I know the dreaded ‘Accreditation’. However, this is not hard and should be achieved by all Justices in order that they keep up their skills and knowledge. The Association provides HUB Training, Support Group Meetings and the Accreditation Study Group to assist all members in achieving the requisite level of expertise.
Just to let you know how we are doing compared with other regions here are the statistics as of February 2021.
| Region | Accredited | Total Membership | Percentage |
| Auckland | 553 | 1304 | 42.4% |
| Northern | 644 | 1500 | 42.9% |
| Central | 801 | 1601 | 50% |
| Southern | 606 | 1278 | 47.4% |
| TOTAL | 2604 | 5683 | 45.5% |
As you can see we are below the average for the whole of New Zealand. So, let’s get behind the Accreditation Programme and see if we can improve our percentage.
