Children and young people are loved, safe and nurtured
Violence Intervention Programme training for health practitioners in district health boards to routinely deliver effective screening and referrals is continuing. A scoping project for the design, development and implementation of a training programme for primary health care providers (including Māori Health providers, Pacific Health care, Primary Health Organisations, Well Child Tamariki Ora, Plunket nurses and Midwives) is underway.
All uplift funding for the Violence Intervention Programme has been transferred to DHBs. A Māori Expert Advisory Group has been established to inform and guide the project, along with a literature review, and the development of a stakeholder engagement plan.
