We are delighted to announce that we have concluded negotiations with the Families Commission and have a contract to provide the services of the Clearinghouse for the next three years. We look forward to continuing to work with you, promoting and supporting the use of research on family and whānau violence in policy and practice contexts.

The Clearinghouse released the 2014 Data Summaries in July. The data summaries are a collation of the most up-to-date publicly available data about family violence. Click on the link above for our media release and media coverage on questions raised by the data on Police response. We have also launched a new Statistics  section on the website - see the Tip of the Month for details.
