Safety in the community

Keeping Our Kids Safe – WanderSearch & Safer Walking

If your child has a condition like autism, Down Syndrome, or a brain injury—and there’s a chance they might wander or get lost—WanderSearch might be a helpful tool. It’s a tracking system used when other options (like phones or GPS watches) aren’t quite right.

Alongside this, the Safer Walking Framework helps families by offering support, information, and practical tips to reduce the risk of a loved one going missing. It’s all about helping people with cognitive challenges stay safe while still having the freedom to move about in their community.

If this sounds like something that might help your whānau, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to point you in the right direction.
