| dc.description.notes | Presented at the conference by Wendy Davis.<br/ >This is an address given by the New Zealand (NZ) Chief Commissioner, Families Commission, and explains the Commission’s role in the area of family violence. The Commission was set up in July 2004, following the Families Commission Act, to advocate for families as a collective. Unlike the NZ Children’s Commissioner, the Families Commission does not have the legal authority to advocate for individual families. It is a publicly funded, autonomous Crown entity and has regard to government policy. It looks at decisions about policy and resource allocation and how they may affect families. There is a broad community engagement programme to reflect the views of NZ families. It promotes the interests of families. In partnership with others, it promotes a context where families have the resources they need to provide safe and healthy environments. It commissioned a review of current understanding of family violence and key issues to be identified for future work in prevention and intervention. The study was conducted by Dr Janet Fanslow in her report, ‘Beyond Zero Tolerance’, and recommended changing societal attitudes to family violence. Her research noted the effects of abuse on children, which could remain with them as adults, and the lack of examination of the efficacy of initiatives such as parenting programmes, school-based education programmes and therapy for children to recover from violence at home. Only family visitation seems to have reduced or prevented child abuse. Some school-based programmes have reduced the incidence of dating violence; programmes targeting abusive partners have helped a small number of men but are more effective when linked with criminal justice sanctions. More is needed to track the success of various intervention and prevention strategies. Less research has been done to look at abuse of the elderly. It suggests that the course of action should go beyond targeting family violence through the individual and the family, but should be more coordinated responses from communities and society as a whole. It refers to Fanslow’s study as linking violence with social, cultural and economic factors. | en |
