First Issues Paper focuses on building collaborations to eliminate family violence

The first Issues Paper published by the New Zealand Family Violence Clearinghouse focuses on the facilitators and barriers to building collaborations to eliminate family violence.

This paper provides a broad perspective on best-practice principles and challenges relating to coordinated collaborative initiatives generally and as they relate to family violence specifically. It explores the current state of collaborative work on family violence in New Zealand. It is informed by a literature review and discussions with key informants: people with long experience of community-based family violence networks. The funding for the preparation of this Issues Paper was provided by the Families Commission.

The Clearinghouse will publish at least two Issues Papers each year. The Issues Paper series will include in-depth papers providing analysis of current and emerging issues to inform family violence practice, policy and research.
