Family Harm Co-ordinators & RISE

Monica made this Official Information request to Ministry of Social Development

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Monica to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Monica

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

Hello,

Now that MSD have contracted outside organizations to assist with training and supporting MSD staff (managers / case managers) in Family harm, (RISE) what need is there for the Family Harm Co-Ordinator Role?

Is there anything documented within the MSD that show the Family Harm co-ordinations made significant changes / processes or helped staff over the last 20 years they have been in the background of MSD?

Do the Family Harm Co-Ordinator's in each region keep track of who they have trained in family harm within the ministry? assisted or supported in each office - Like a check list EG : getting signed off after staff go on the first aid course.

Yours faithfully,

Monica
