The report looks at 30 randomly selected cases involving 63 children handled by the team, and discusses services provided and common characteristics among the users of the services. Key findings were that ethnic minorities in Auckland were over-represented in the statistics, and that the two most common age groups of children involved in domestic violence were 3- to 5-year-olds, and 12 years and over. Further findings showed that in 28 of the 30 cases the offender was a male, and in 23 of these cases was the father of the child. Of the 63 children, 43 said they had tried to intervene in a domestic violence incident between two caregivers. Over two-thirds of the children were distressed at leaving their mothers at home when going to school, suggesting a high level of awareness of the abuse occurring. Many children exhibited trauma symptoms, such as not wanting to sleep in their own beds, night sweats, and generally feeling unhappy. The report also discusses the types of intervention provided. Following intervention, improvements in the children were observed in nearly three-quarters of the families, with half of these noting a significant improvement. Parents also reported that the intervention had a positive impact on their lives.
