杰辛达·阿尔登说:”这是一个特权,知道伊恩爵士。他确实是一个谦逊的人,他把毕生的工作都献给了孩子们的健康”。
杰辛达·阿尔登还说;”他对新西兰儿童生活的贡献是无可比拟的。他对婴幼儿死亡的开创性研究挽救了许多生命,他作为儿科医生和虐待儿童倡导者的工作帮助使这个问题引起全国的注意。伊恩爵士既启发了我,也就我关于儿童福利问题的工作提供了建议。他总是在那里提供指导,一切以改善儿童生活为目的。我将非常想念他。在这个非常悲伤的时刻,我与他的珍妮夫人和他们的家人在一起”。
伊恩爵士负责对普伦凯特/卡里塔内家庭单位全国网络进行医疗监督,并于1977年成立了儿童虐待预防协会(家长帮助)。
· 他于1989年被任命为第一任儿童事务专员,并担任过若干部级咨询委员会成员,负责解决影响儿童的各种问题。
· 他帮助建立了全国儿童电话咨询服务Whatup,并在2008年之前一直受托于其管理委员会儿童帮助热线信托基金。
· 他参与了每个儿童计数的组建,其目的是将儿童的利益纳入政府进程。1990年代初,Hassall博士推动设立儿童节,扶轮社接手该项目,导致2000年庆祝第一个新西兰儿童节。
rime Minister mourns passing of Dr Sir Ian Hassall
News from the Press Secretariat on June 16,Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is mourning the passing of Dr Sir Ian Hassall, New Zealand’s first Children’s Commissioner and lifelong champion for children and children’s health.
As a paediatrician Sir Ian contributed to a major world-first cot death study that has been directly credited with reducing cot deaths in New Zealand and abroad, and initiated a successful campaign to reduce the drowning rate of children at home.
“It was a privilege to know Sir Ian. He was truly a humble man who dedicated his life’s work to the betterment of children,” Jacinda Ardern said.
“His contribution to the lives of children in New Zealand is unparalleled. His ground-breaking research into cot death saved many lives and his work both as a paediatrician and advocate on child abuse helped bring the issue to the attention of the nation.
“Sir Ian both inspired me and provided advice on my work on child wellbeing issues. He was always there to provide guidance, and all in the name of improving the lives of children.
“He will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with Lady Jenny and their family at this very sad time,” Jacinda Ardern said.
· Sir Ian was responsible for medical oversight of the nationwide network of Plunket/Karitane Family units and established the Child Abuse Prevention Society (Parent Help) in 1977.
· He was appointed as the first Commissioner for Children in 1989 and has been a member of a number of ministerial advisory committees on various issues affecting children.
· He helped set up the national children’s phone counselling service ‘What’s Up’, and was a Trustee of its governance board the Kids Helpline Trust until 2008.
· He was involved in the formation of Every Child Counts, which aims to include children’s interests in the processes of government. In the early 1990s Dr Hassall promoted the establishment of a Children’s Day, with the project being picked up by Rotary leading to the first New Zealand Children’s Day celebrated in 2000.
