Otepoti Collective Against Sexual Abuse sexual violence prevention programme co-ordinator Hazel Potterton  is pleased to be working in the organisation’s new education office in Dunbar House.

Demand for Ocasa’s counselling service increased after the Covid-19 lockdown, so education staff moved into a new space to make room for extra counsellors.

The Moray Pl office will remain predominantly for crisis and counselling support. Ms Potterton said she was "super relieved" to find and move into the new office as it alleviated some pressure.

The organisation ran the ACC’s Mates and Dates programme in five high schools this term, and will go to three more schools next term.
