Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: Wellington, New Zealand : Ministry of Justice, Tāhū o te Ture, 2016Description: electronic document (60 pages); PDF file: 972.39 KBSubject(s): Online resources: Summary: This consultation draft has been developed through a review of existing risk frameworks and evidence on family violence screening, risk assessment, and risk management. It focuses on intimate partner violence and its intersection with child abuse. As the framework progresses, more detailed guides for other forms of violence will be developed, for example, abuse of the elderly and the disabled.
