520			_aOn 21 August 2013, the Social Services Committee of the 50th Parliament began an inquiry into the funding of specialist sexual violence social services. The terms of reference were to review  the state of specialist services and determine whether they reflect an integrated approach to service delivery, full coverage, and best practice  specialist services, including those for Māori and other diverse ethnic communities, and assess whether they are accessible, culturally appropriate, and sustainable. The Minister for Social Development provided advisers, whom the committee authorised to consult with relevant government agencies as appropriate. The committee received submissions from 997 organisations and individuals. Organisations included service providers, research and advocacy groups, professional organisations, umbrella organisations, and health sector organisations. Individual submitters included victims/survivors1 of sexual violence, whānau and friends of victims/survivors, and workers in the sector, including social workers, educators, counsellors, and medical staff. Some submissions represented many people. In particular, 214 people signed the submission from the Māori caucus of Te Ohaakii a Hine—National Network for Ending Sexual Violence Together (TOAH-NNEST), Ngā Kaitiaki Mauri. Ngā Kaitiaki Mauri also organised two hui for committee members, which 33 agencies and individuals attended. The committee heard oral evidence from 87 submitters in Auckland and Wellington in 2014. At the conclusion of the 50th Parliament, the Social Services Committee made an interim report on its inquiry (see link to 5-page interim report). The interim report outlined the main issues submitters raised and noted certain recent initiatives that may help to address those issues. It noted several significant and complex issues that were worth pursuing. The interim report urged a select committee of the 51st Parliament to continue the inquiry as a matter of priority. The inquiry was reinstated on 29 October 2014. This report of the Social Sciences committee, chaired by Alfred Ngaro was reported back to Parliament on 11 December 2015. It includes 32 recommendations to the Government. Record #4888
