Two new Issues Papers have been released today by the New Zealand Family Violence Clearinghouse.

Understanding connections and relationships:
Child maltreatment, intimate partner violence and parenting reviews the evidence on the frequency with which intimate partner violence and child maltreatment co-occur.

Policy and practice implications: Child maltreatment, intimate partner violence and parenting explores the system responses required to support children exposed to intimate partner violence.
