Episode description

Join us as we chat to Carmel Claridge, Court Coordinator for Te Kōti o Timatanga Hou (TKTH), also known as the Court of New Beginnings based in Auckland, New Zealand. The court was set up due to concerns about increased low-level, public nuisance offending by people experiencing homelessness in central Auckland.

Carmel provides an intriguing glimpse into a typical workday and the multifaceted role encompassing advocacy, support, and legal oversight.

Tune in to understand how this unique court process promotes empowering, practical outcomes such as acquiring an ID, securing lease agreements, or re-connecting with family. Carmel also shares some heartwarming stories of individuals who have experienced transformation through their experience with TKTH.
