ISR is a multi-agency pilot that focuses on the joined-up support and services that families, including victims and perpetrators, receive following family violence reported to NZ Police and high risk prison releases in Christchurch and Waikato. It tests a new approach to making sure families experiencing violence get the help they need from family violence services.People ask “what does ISR do?” and “how does ISR make a difference?” Throughout this report we will attempt to answer these questions by exploring: Complex issues facing families referred; Representation of certain groups such as benefit recipients, renters, gang affiliates, ethnic groups and younger people; Engagement rates for perpetrators, victims and children; How information sharing and multi-agency collaboration helps ISR to respond better; The support provided by government agencies and partners to address the immediate and longer term safety of families experiencing harm; Reported family harm incidents in the 12 week period; Descriptions of ISR processes illustrated with case studies; Safety outcomes at the end of the 12 weeks.
It is only by knowing this detail - the families and whānau and their needs - that planning can occur for further targeted services and ‘what’s next’ to improve the overall family harm landscape. This report is one of six inter-related evaluation components of the Phase II Evaluation of the ISR pilot. (Overview). Record #6925
