This Practice Database lists family violence-related programmes that are
‘promising’ or ‘emerging’ practice examples.
There is limited research information on effective outcomes or good practice in
family violence prevention programmes within Aotearoa New Zealand. Only a few
programmes are subject to rigorous external evaluation and there is limited
publicly available research information about what works to prevent family
violence, keep victims safe and hold perpetrators of violence accountable.
However, some programmes can be said to show promise or are ‘emerging good
practice’ in that the agency and wider practice community identify that the
programme works to acceptable standards and appears to be producing positive
outcomes.
The NZFVC provides programme descriptions in order to make information about
family violence initiatives and interventions more accessible, with the aim of
contributing to improving practice.
Programmes will be included in the Practice Database only once they have been
assessed according to the inclusion
criteria, and inclusion is approved by the NZFVC
Advisory Group Listing the programmes in the Practice Database does not
constitute a recommendation or endorsement by NZFVC.
