Daybreak report - the founding document for our work in restorative justice

I learned recently that the founding document for our work in restorative justice is not available in PDF format online at this link. Puao-Te-Ata-Tu, the Daybreak report, is the report I look to as the beginning of our work.

I am please to know this rich resource is now available online and to share it with you. It outlines the thoughts of respected Maori elders in the late 1980s about how government agencies in New Zealand should work with Maori to respond to issues common to both. The practice known as Family Group Conferencing grew out of this report and led to what we now know as restorative justice.
