Action timeframe:
From 2019

This initiative supports continued development and testing of current programmes for victims, families and whānau affected by family violence and safe and consistent responses where and when families and whānau need them.

The initiative involves:

  • an extension to the Integrated Safety Response (ISR) sites for two more years

  • increased funding for Whāngaia Ngā Pā Harakeke in Counties Manukau to support the triaging of cases and the family violence services provided.

  • a pilot for proximity alarms to help keep victims and their families and whānau safe (now complete)

  • developing national case management systems to support triage, risk assessment and management processes. Next step involves building alignment with the Integrated Community Response Design.
