Violence, broadly defined, is the most urgent problem of our time.
Gathering together people from all points of intervention in family violence - law enforcement, child protection, legal, health, education and social services, corrections, whānau and families themselves - Dignity Whanganui is an opportunity to learn and engage with the ideas and practices associated with Response Based Practice.
This field of practice was developed by practitioners and indigenous communities in Canada, and over recent years has been shared with communities internationally, including communities in New Zealand.
Response Based Practice works to improve the quality and effectiveness of social responses to violence by various sectors and institutions. It turns on its head common takenfor-granted ways of thinking about and responding to whānau and families’ experiences of violence by recognising that even in the most extreme conditions,
victims work to retain and reassert their basic human dignity.
