I finished a four-year project in 2005 exploring the communications needs of eight Pacific national churches affiliated to the Council for World Mission. This wide-ranging consultation involves visiting each island, auditing their existing communications and preparing a new strategic plan for each place. The project includes detailed analysis of the communication structures of member churches in American Samoa, Kiribati, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands New Zealand and Tuvalu. I was account manager for the Pacific Project and led a team of four consultants.

Leigh was contracted to create and implement communications strategy to deliver consistent quarantine awareness messages throughout the south Pacific — New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and the Cook Islands. This included identifying key messages common across all countries, then adapting these to take into account the culture and practices in each country. The media strategy crossed print, radio television and personal presentations made through village networks. The communications strategy was to deliver to both internal and external audiences. I travelled to each country and spent time managing the launch and roll out of the initiative.
The Family Safety Teams programme was a partnership between New Zealand Police, Ministry of Justice, Child, Youth and Family, and a range of community- based organisations, including Women’s Refuge, Jigsaw and NNSVS designed to close gaps identified in responses to violent family situations.
