Taking a stand - Domestic and family violence in
New Zealand
The problem of domestic and family violence in New
Zealand is an obvious social issue. There have been a
number of initiatives put forward in the past decade to
lower its incidence, some extremely effective and some not,
it is clear that in order to create effective and sustainable
change, there must be a collaborative approach. Explore:
• Putting a stop to domestic violence
• Ensuring the safety of children
• Police and Corrections striving for change

Effective services for victims of family violence
The Salvation Army are powerfully committed to each
other and compassionately engaged with people in need.
Commissioner Donaldson leads the division in New Zealand
and is taking steps to stop family and domestic violence
as Territorial President of Women’s Ministries. She is
passionate about providing services to victims and working
with the government in an attempt to do so. Explore:
• Ensuring services are available
• Trauma counselling for victims of child abuse
• Building relationships with government and NGOs

Perceptions and stereotypes of intimate partner
violence
As a nation, our varied interpretations of domestic and
family violence have a significant impact on how we
understand the problem, enabling some interventions and
constraining others. Mandy and Leigh have worked on the
Domestic Violence Interventions and Services Programme
at Massey University for the past two decades and have
made great strides in ensuring domestic violence service
and intervention providers and clients benefit from their
experiences. This case study will explore the effect of
stereotyping and how awareness could improve New
Zealand’s efforts to stop the violence, in relation to:
• Reporting and under-reporting
• Gender roles and assumptions
• Young people and suicide

11.30 - 11.45 Questions and Discussion
11.45 - 12.20 CASE STUDY
Improving shared pathways - A systems approach
Although the health sector’s approach to domestic violence
cases has evolved significantly over the past few decades,
hospitals remain quite disjointed and the abuse of women
and children is falling through the cracks. The collaboration of
information between health providers and other emergency
services, such as police and child protection, would improve
the response to serious health risks associated with family
violence. Raewyn will discuss a systems approach to
improving these shared pathways. Explore:
• Establishing where the gaps lie
• Improving collaboration between hospitals and other
services
• Lowering negative long term health effects by improving
comprehensive health checks

Communication and partnership between sectors
to end domestic violence
New Zealand has some of the highest rates of reported
domestic and family violence worldwide. These figures
are calling for effective and sustainable change. However,
in recent years, there has been only a small decrease in
reported cases. So, what is going wrong and what else can
we do? With both an overarching perspective from senior
leaders and insight from professionals who have firsthand
experience, this interactive panel session will explore:
• Current collaborative initiatives
• What’s working and why?
• Mobilising communities to prevent inter-generational abuse

Te Puni Kokiri supporting whanau
Violence within whanau remains entangled with the on-going
negative outcomes of colonialisation. Whanau violence is “the
compromise of Te Ao Maori values and can be understood
as an absence or disturbance of tikanga and transgressions
against whakapapa”. Maori traditional knowledge and
cultural practices are fundamental for achieving whanau
ora (wellbeing). Kim leads Te Puni Kokiri policy advice for
the Ministerial Family Violence and Sexual Violence work
programme. She will explore:
• Understanding whanau in the context of domestic and
family violence
• Harnessing a whanau centred approach across New
Zealand
• Learning from focused examples of whanau centred
approaches

emancipation approach
Moving away from intimate partner violence is complex and
requires a holistic and supportive response. A holistic response
system takes into account the range of intersecting factors that
influence how women move away from violence. Yvonne has
a strong presence in the family violence space and is currently
a board member at Barnardos striving for an end to intimate
partner violence. She will reflect on her research and explore
the action needed to provide an effective response system.
Discuss:
• Addressing factors that prompt women to move away from
intimate partner violence
• Highlighting helpful and unhelpful responses to women
• Acknowledging implications for social service delivery; the
components of a holistic emancipatory response system

9.35 - 10.35 EXPERT COMMENTARY
Restorative justice in domestic and family
violence cases
Restorative justice is a process where parties with a
stake in a specific offence come together to talk about
the effects of the offence and to agree how those effects
could be overcome or reduced. Given the dynamics
of domestic violence there is significant debate as to
whether restorative justice is appropriate in cases of
domestic violence. Jon will reflect on his expertise in this
complex area and explore:
• Determining the challenges and benefits of using a
restorative justice around domestic violence
• Monitoring the use of restorative justice in fragile
environments
• Implementing it safely and effectively

International responses to the problem of
violence against women
Although domestic violence is a problem in New Zealand,
surrounding islands of the Pacific have faced even
more severe issues on the same front. However, with a
number of initiatives and programmes, places like the
Solomon Islands have seen significant improvements.
This interactive think tank session will delve into what
is happening outside of New Zealand to end violence
against women. Explore:
• Building on other successful initiatives to improve our
own prevention focus
• Impact of culture that might allow or permit this
violence to occur
• Preventing potential harm to young children who are
exposed to domestic violence

WHO WILL ATTEND
ABOUT THE EVENT
Professionals from government and NGOs working in the complex space
of domestic and family violence. Including:
New Zealand’s rates of domestic and family violence are some of the
worst reported worldwide. Recent statistics show that in 2014, NZ Police
recorded a family violence investigation on average every five and a half
minutes, investigating a staggering 101 981 of cases, an increase of 7%
from the previous year. These results show that current strategies and
initiatives are not effectively changing the way much of the New Zealand
population respond to this type of violence.
With new research being conducted frequently across New Zealand,
many government ministries and non-profit organisations are developing
innovative strategies to minimise the impact of domestic and family violence
across health, justice, corrections, and social development. However, whilst
some integrated initiatives are working harmoniously, there is evidence to
show that many cases of abuse and violence are falling through the cracks,
due to a lack of communication and partnership between sectors.
The Ending Domestic and Family Violence Summit 2016 is an
opportunity to develop an intricate understanding of how to overcome
the key issues faced by individual government organisations and NGOs.
Participants will investigate these factors through a practical lens and
collectively brainstorm strategies to reduce domestic and family violence as
one infrastructure. Encouraged interactivity will allow professionals in this
challenging space to work closely with like-minded individuals and leave
with the tools needed to drive effective and sustainable change.
3.30 - 4.30 INTERACTIVE CLOSING ROUNDTABLE

Building secure partnerships and implementing
change
E Tu Whanau is a movement for positive change developed
by Maori for Maori. It is about taking responsibility and
action in your community and supporting whanau to thrive.
A major reason behind its success is the partnership
between Te Ao Maori and the government. Since
collaborating with the Ministry of Social Development,
E Tu Whanau has had an inspiring impact across
communities with people talking openly about family
violence and spreading recognition that it should not be
tolerated. In this session, Darrin will discuss:
• Building and maintaining effectual partnerships
• Overcoming conflict and challenges
• Working together to implement change

Building Pathways between Government and NGOs to Stop Domestic Violence and Child Abuse
The interlocking issues of domestic violence and child abuse have reached epidemic proportions in Aotearoa New Zealand. Statistics show that 1 in
3 women experience physical and/or sexual violence from a partner and 14% of young people report being purposely hit or physically harmed by an
adult. The majority of child abuse happens in the context of domestic violence. Whilst the public sector and non-government organisations attempt
to stem violence against both women and children, there has not been a significant reduction.
However, there is significant evidence to show that an integrated system may be the most efficient and effective way to respond to – and to prevent –
domestic violence and child abuse. Although there have been various attempts to improve collaboration, these have varied in effectiveness and have
sometimes proved to be unsustainable. Arguably, some initiatives have further endangered women and children. To create effective and sustainable
change, there must be a nation-wide collaboration at both a national and local level.
This interactive workshop will examine some of the lessons learnt from nearly 30 years of interagency collaboration in domestic violence and child
abuse in Aotearoa. Participants will have the opportunity to investigate the most effective collaborative processes and to identify some of the barriers
which need to be overcome if agencies are to work together effectively. They will be introduced to safety audits, a methodology for ensuring that our
practices protect and empower victims, rather than endanger and further burden them. This is an opportunity for leaders in the domestic violence
space from all levels of government and NGOs to hone in on barriers and brainstorm ideas to create a safer New Zealand. Topics to be covered
inlcude:
Understanding the social issue
• Investigating the extent and dynamics of the problem
• Highlighting the cultural and social-economic factors impacting domestic violence and child abuse
• Reviewing past and current strategies and initiatives in interagency work
Improving communication and partnership between sectors
• Establishing which areas are overlapping and conflicting
• Creating clear referral pathways
• Managing partnerships between government and NGOs
Processes to support multi-agency collaboration
• Developing techniques to build connections
• Learning from effective models outside of New Zealand
• Sharing innovation and ideas across all organisations
Implementing the integrated model
• Looking at the current national infrastructure used in the effort to stop violence
• Focusing on effective and sustainable change
• Ensuring that our interventions enhance safety
