Information service

This guide is to help you make the most of the New Zealand Family Violence Clearinghouse. The website provides access to the work of the Clearinghouse, your national centre for family and whānau violence research and information.

Library

The library is a key feature of the Clearinghouse. The library includes an online catalog, a collection of books and other hard copy resources available for borrowing and many items available online. Follow these links to find out more about the library and searching the online catalog.

NZFVC staff can help you find the latest family and whānau violence information, including statistics, resources, research and evaluations.  We can do this via email, phone or in person. We provide this service for policymakers, service providers, researchers, students, media, people affected by violence and the general public.

Depending on availability of staff, we may be able to provide a short list of key references based on a limited literature search. Requests for comprehensive literature searches will be considered by the Directors on a case-by-case basis and a fee for service may be charged.  Contact the Information Specialist.
