These behaviours trap victims. The report also identifies how the family violence workforce – including the justice, child protection, and mental health and addiction sectors – can be strengthened and work together better." The FVDRC fifth report does not contain updates on statistics. A data report will be released by the committee later this year. (From the media release).
