Research on Children and Divorce

A two year long research project with the aim of better supporting 10,000 New Zealand children whose parents divorce each year received $424,000 funding last week from Nuffield Foundation, UK.

This project will be led by Chair of the Family Research Unit at Otago University Gordon Harold and will seek to use findings to train Court staff to identify at-risk children and to strategically tailor programmes to support them.
