In 2011 the Kidpower Teenpower Fullpower Trust (NZ) hereafter referred to as (Fullpower (NZ) received funding from the Ministry of Justice to create a violence and abuse prevention programme for adults with learning disabilities. Fullpower (NZ) developed a programme called Healthy Relationships building on the curriculum of and in close collaboration with Kidpower Teenpower Fullpower International. Three CD-ROMs with accompanying booklets help people recognise potentially unsafe situations, use skills to keep safe, escape from risky situations and seek assistance. Participants can pick from 61 different scenarios and practice the skills with the help of coached role plays. In 2011 Fullpower (NZ) employed SAMS to begin the process of evaluating the effectiveness of the programme. In 2014 Fullpower (NZ) again approached SAMS to conduct a quantitative evaluation of the programme using a pre- and post-test research design, supported by Ministry of Justice funding.
