Tēnā tātou katoa

  

May ended on a high note, with the Clearinghouse co-hosting our 2012 Family Violence Symposium in Wellington and a further opportunity to hear keynote speaker Dr Marion Frere in Auckland. The day focused on building systems and collaborative responses to eliminate family violence. Thank you to everyone who attended these events and to the Families Commission for helping to make them such a success. Of course, the challenge now is to take what we learnt back to our organisations to make a real difference in the ways we work. 

 
We have now published three Data summaries bringing available New Zealand data on family violence together. Tools to support multi-agency collaboration, the companion resource to our first Issues Paper is also now available online. You will find links to these publications and more in the New Resources section below.  You will find links to all the recently released Ministry of Social Development's Pacific Conceptual Framework to address family violence in New Zealand documents there too.
 
If your organisation is delivering or participating in any kind of primary prevention of sexual violence in Tauiwi and Bicultural communities, you are encouraged to complete  The Preventing Sexual Violence in Aotearoa New Zealand Survey. Find out more about this survey by following the link from the In the news section. 
 
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is on Friday 15 June.  Check for more Upcoming Events in the final section of this Pānui.
