Funding to enable direct purchase of services for children and young people who are experiencing family violence and are being identified through multi-agency community response sites (e.g. Whāngaia Ngā Pā Harakeke and Integrated Safety Response sites).

The funding will purchase services through:

  • topping up funding to existing children’s services providers who are not currently funded to respond to children as a result of their identification through family violence response sites
  • funding bespoke services such as psychologists through a flexi-fund arrangement.
