Background
In March 2012, an Auckland Regional Hui on family and sexual violence prevention was held (more information here). Following the hui, in consultation with the family and sexual violence sectors, Council Officers drafted a series of short term actions that Auckland Council could undertake in 2012/13 within existing resources and budget. One of these was to hold three regional networking meetings per year. The first one will be held on Monday 10 September 2012.
