This Issues Paper, by the New Zealand Family Violence Clearinghouse, aims to raise awareness of intimate partner violence (IPV) as a matter that has serious implications for the workplace.

The paper highlights the need for employers to see the perpetrator’s behaviour as the problem rather than penalising or holding the victim accountable. It also highlights emerging approaches that can be used by employers and the government to fulfil their responsibilities to employees and to wider society.

More about the study
The Growing Up in New Zealand study tracks approximately 7,000 New Zealand children from before birth. The study describes what it is like to grow up in contemporary New Zealand in the 21st century.

The Study has several unique features:

It started before the children were born so useful information has been collected about the mother’s behaviour and her intentions for the future.

The mother’s partners have been involved in the study, which provides a useful and sometimes different perspective on the child.

The cohort has representation from European, Maori, Pacific, Asian and other ethnic groups to ensure that New Zealand’s cultural diversity is captured.

There are six ‘domains’ of the study: education, culture and identity, psychological and cognitive development, health and wellbeing, social context, and family and wellbeing. This multi-disciplinary approach means the information collected can be used by a wide range of agencies, governmental and non-governmental, to address cross sector issues.

New Zealand Family Violence Clearinghouse

The New Zealand Family Violence Clearinghouse is the national centre for collating and disseminating information about domestic and family violence.
Superu funds the University of Auckland to operate the New Zealand Family Violence Clearinghouse.

Superu’s vision is to be the centre of excellence for knowledge about New Zealand families and whānau. Working with the NZFVCH is part of that vision to ensure we can advocate for the interests of families from a strong evidential base.

Having access to quality information is critical to ensuring family violence prevention strategies and initiatives have the greatest impact possible and can assist cross-sector consistency in approaches to family violence prevention.

Campaigns such as our White Ribbon Campaign to end violence against women and the It’s not OK Campaign will benefit from fast and efficient access to the best evidence from around the world.

The Clearinghouse draws on the expert leadership and academic excellence exemplified by Dr Janet Fanslow, whose work has contributed greatly to understanding family violence in New Zealand, and Associate Professor Robyn Dixon, who has extensive experience in leading multidisciplinary teams in research and evaluation projects.

From 1 December 2014, the Families Commission started operating as the Social Policy Evaluation and Research Unit, or Superu for short.

We still have a focus on families and whanau. We are making the change because it better reflects HOW we do what we do. In early 2014, the legislation that governs us changed to give us the additional responsibilities of monitoring and evaluating programmes and interventions in the social sector, and to provide social science research into key issues, programmes and interventions.

In a nutshell, we’re responsible for finding out what works for families and whanau. Complex social issues deserve quality evidence to enable better-informed decisions. Decision-makers need to know what works and what doesn’t.

Our purpose is to increase the use of evidence by people across the social sector so that they make better decisions – about funding, policies or services – to improve the lives of New Zealanders, New Zealand’s communities, families and whānau.

We look forward to working with you, whether we have worked with you in the past or will soon work with you in the future. And we’re always keen to hear from you. We can be contacted on 04 917 7040 or by email

A good makeup brush is an indispensable tool used for applying makeup to the face or body. The brush can be made of synthetic or natural fibers, while the handle usually consists of wood or metal. Most of these brushes have several bristles, which are used for various applications. Depending on the brush’s size and shape, it can either be used on the face or in the upper lip.

Makeup brushes make the job easier because it helps in creating different effects to the makeup. By using a good brush, you will find that your makeup will last longer. But before you use one, there are certain things that you should know.

The first thing to consider is the length of the brush. It is ideal to get the brush that is long enough to reach from the eye to the eyebrow. Make sure that the size of the brush that you choose is not too small for the purpose. For instance, if you are applying concealer on the eyes, then get a brush that is long enough so that you can reach the eyelashes. And if you are using powder on the cheekbones, get a large brush that will cover all the creases and ridges.

When choosing makeup brushes, you have to consider the kind of bristles. Synthetic bristles are preferred by women as they are flexible and easy to manipulate. Some synthetic bristle brushes are available in a variety of colors and styles, which helps in creating an appealing look for the face. However, synthetic brushes also tend to cause some skin irritation and redness, especially when it gets wet.

You also need to consider the hair types. Most brushes designed for use on the face have soft hair that can easily blend with the skin. Some bristle brushes are designed with hair that is short and stubby, which helps in creating a more dramatic effect for those with long hair. However, it is important to choose a brush that does not cause any kind of damage to your hair or scalp. You should not use a brush that is too tight because it can cause the hair to be damaged.

Another aspect to consider when buying a good makeup brush is the material. While synthetic brushes may look more elegant, they are less durable. When you are using a brush on your skin, you will find that synthetic brushes are more durable than wood or metal brushes. because they are made of synthetic materials.

In addition to the brushes, you also need to consider the applicator of the makeup brushes. These applicators come in different shapes and sizes, which help in applying the makeup evenly. Some are made of cloth, but some are made of metal. The type of applicator you choose depends on the way you are going to use the brushes.

Most brushes are designed with detachable applicators, which allow you to control the amount of makeup you want to apply. Therefore, you can be sure that you are getting the right amount of makeup on your face. While a lot of the brushes are made of synthetic, some brushes have detachable applicators, as well. To create more variety, you can also buy a brush that has both a detachable applicator and a wand applicator.

Most brushes are designed with two ends. This helps to ensure that the brush can be used with both damp and oil-free makeup. The brushes are made of different materials, so you will find brushes that are made of cotton, silk, synthetic fibers, and other types of materials. Some brushes come with detachable bristles and also a comb.

When choosing a brush, you can use different types of bristles depending on the application that you are going to use it for. You can get a sponge brush, powder brush, or pressed brush. A sponge brush is a great tool that allows you to apply foundation to your face. while pressing in order to get a smooth finish. If you are going to use a pressed brush, then it should be soft to apply powder evenly on your face.

If you are going to use a powder brush, then you should consider using a powder brush, which allows you to blend the makeup into your skin easily. You can also use a loose powder brush, which can provide you with a smudge-free finish. and even out your makeup.

A coffee table is an elegant style of low, rounded table that is generally designed to be mounted on the wall behind a sofa or love seat for easy access of coffee cups, or other small objects, such as book coasters, beverage coasters, and other decorative items to be used while enjoying a meal. There are a wide variety of styles of coffee tables available in department stores, furniture showrooms, online furniture retailers, and even in some houses of worship. The first thing you should do when shopping for a coffee table is to decide what type of decor you want to create. The color and style of your tables will not only provide an elegant focal point but will also help to create a welcoming ambiance in the room.

It is important to determine the size of the coffee table before beginning the shopping process. You should measure both the height and width of the space in your living or dining room where the table will be set up. You can also measure the area directly in front of the furniture where the table will sit for best results. If you don’t have an accurate measurement, you may have to purchase a coffee table that will not fit in your space, or that will be too big. Before you begin shopping, ask the salesperson to provide you with a scale. You should never use the same scale for measurements for different types of furniture, as different pieces can vary in size.

There are many different styles of coffee tables that you can choose from. Some of them come in traditional or modern designs, while others are made from materials such as glass and metal. You can find coffee tables in wood, wrought iron, wicker, or metal, and even porcelain. Each type of material has its own unique appearance, and each one can enhance the design of your room. A wood coffee table can bring a traditional look to any room, while a metal coffee table adds a contemporary or rustic feel to a room. You can find tables made entirely of glass or made of a combination of wood, metal, or porcelain.

These beautiful tables can be found in a wide array of sizes and styles and colors. They will add a sleek, contemporary look to any room, but can also give it a more contemporary or modern feel if the style of the table is modern, sleek and understated, or intricate and very busy and vibrant and detailed if the style is classic.

A coffee table that is made out of wood, such as oak, will add a more traditional and rustic look to a living room, while a glass coffee table made of wrought iron or a mirrored glass coffee table adds a more modern look to a dining room. Both of these styles of table can be painted, stained, or varnished to create a more detailed look. Another popular option is a coffee table made of metal, like an iron wrought iron coffee table. This style looks more like a table made of wood and adds some depth to the look of the room.

You may even want to consider a coffee table that has a raised area for a shelf to hold drinks or to keep a book open to read while talking. Most coffee tables have a shelf in the center of the table that will make it convenient for you to set down napkins or cups and glasses for easy access. or to read while enjoying dinner. Some also have a table top made from a metal frame that is open on the bottom, allowing you to store small dishes, such as plates and silverware, or glasses for easier access.

Glass coffee tables are available in a variety of different designs, including some with elaborate floral designs or other unusual designs. A glass coffee table can be found with a table top made out of either glass or crystal. Both types of coffee tables are available in various styles and sizes. A table made from a single type of glass, like a mirror or China crystal table, will blend in perfectly in a small room. Glass coffee tables can also add character to a room with their unique shapes. Many designs have a mirror on the table top which allows you to see what you are eating or reading while eating, or talking.

A glass coffee table can add a touch of elegance to a room with a table that makes it look more elegant and formal, or it can give your room a more modern, rustic feel. If your room already has a classic style, then a table made from glass or crystal can add an element of whimsy, depending on the style and look of your room. If your room is decorated in a more modern style than a coffee table that is designed with a more contemporary style can add a modern edge.

 

Take the time to travel around New Zealand and you will find carpet cleaning Auckland. This can be one of the most enjoyable activities for those that want to relax and enjoy the outdoors. This is a wonderful way to avoid the large crowds that many of the popular beaches and resorts attract.

Many people enjoy being outdoors, but they do not like it when it rains or snow. This means that they need to be protected from the elements so that they can get the best out of their holidays. Luckily, there are some simple things that anyone can do that will help them get through the worst weather and keep them dry and safe.

One of the first things that you can do is make sure that you bring along a sweater to keep you warm when it snows and that you bring along a pair of sneakers or flip flops when you are outside to play your favorite outdoor sports. You also want to make sure that you do not have any woolen products near your home. Wool is especially bad because it does not breathe well and so it will quickly become saturated with water.

Even though you are outdoors, you still need to wear some kind of long sleeve clothing in order to avoid the sun, which can cause damage to your skin and hair. In fact, if you are lucky enough to be able to have a tanning booth at your resort, then you should use this when you get out of the water. Otherwise, it is good to cover up with a shirt and shorts.

If you choose to take your carpet cleaning outside, you will need to protect yourself from the elements and you should also make sure that you take the proper precautions. Make sure that you do not wear flip flops or get into wet sandals. This is because you will quickly become soaked and will be unable to dry yourself properly.

In fact, many times during the winter months, the weather can turn very cold and windy. It is important to make sure that you keep your windows closed and try to stay off the ground as much as possible. If you do not have any protective clothing, then you should wear pants and t-shirts that will keep you warm.

If you are outside during the winter months, you will also want to consider other ways to protect yourself. For example, you should wear loose-fitting clothing, such as long Johns and shirts that will not trap the heat. This can prevent sunburns and you should also ensure that you protect your face from the sun, especially if you are outside all day.

If you decide to use a carpet cleaning company, then you should make sure that you check their qualifications and the services that they offer. They should also provide you with all of the necessary paperwork. This way, you can be sure that you will get the results that you want.

The best carpet cleaning company in Auckland will also make sure that you have the best equipment and training available to ensure that you get the best results and that you are protected from the elements. In fact, you can request samples from the different types of cleaning agents that they have on hand. This is a good idea if you are considering making a purchase.

There are a number of things that you should look for when you are choosing a carpet cleaning company. The first thing that you should look for is if they have the proper liability insurance in case there is an accident and damage is done to your home. If you decide to use one of the many companies that offer cleaning services, you should make sure that they are covered by this type of insurance.

In addition, you should take a look at the cost of the carpet cleaning if you are considering using a company to clean your carpets. This is important because it can vary depending on what type of business you are using. You should also ask how many pieces of carpet can be cleaned at one time and how long the carpet cleaning will take.

The last thing that you should ask about is the service that you will receive if you are paying for the carpet cleaning. and you should also make sure that you know what you will be responsible for in terms of the costs. if there is an accident and damage is done to your home.
