Summary: This briefing is a descriptive document containing information about New Zealand families gathered from the census, administrative data, and research. The primary purpose of the document is to provide a first resource of factual information for incoming Family Commissioners. This resource identifies some government policies, programmes and legislation that affect families. This document will be used by Commissioners for developing priority practice as opposed to putting forward recommendations for action or policy. In section 1, the chapter titled "Families and Violence" describes information relating to child abuse, intimate partner abuse, elder abuse and other forms of family violence. Appendix 2 highlights a number of legislative and policy involvements with families, and includes an extensive list detailing a wide range of both government and non-government social services in New Zealand.
