Responding to family violence and sexual violence requires action across government and across communities. It involves work from both generalist and specialist services that span the social, justice, education, health and economic sectors.
One of the ways family violence is responded to is through multi-agency crisis models that involve regular meetings of specialist and generalist services across government and non-government organisations to respond to family violence incidents that come to the attention of the NZ Police.
The Minister for the Prevention of Family and Sexual Violence, Te Puna Aonui, and community organisations wanted to better understand the current state of each local crisis family violence response to inform a longer-term work programme to strengthen existing processes and structures to deliver safer, more effective responses.
In 2024, some Te Puna Aonui agencies (NZ Police, Oranga Tamariki, Ministry of Social Development, and the Business Unit) completed a report on the current state of multi-agency responses to family violence.
This report summarises key insights on the current state of multi-agency responses to family violence, who respond to 111 calls to Police. The information was collected in early 2024 and reflects the structures and processes at that time.
This dashboard summarises the data collected across all multi-agency responses. This includes information on the number of cases at each site, the types of roles supporting each site, and the types and frequency of meetings.
