Kaitūruki - Te Pae Oranga
Te Pae Oranga (TPO) is a community-based restorative justice initiative that provides an alternative pathway for low-to-medium-level offenders.

The offender will need to take responsibility for their actions before developing a plan that can help them work towards positive change.
