It identifies the environmental, structural and process factors which have helped or hindered the implementation of Te Rito: New Zealand Family Violence Strategy, Care and Protection Blueprint, and The First Report from the Taskforce for Action on Violence within Families. The key findings include the lack of a national system to co-ordinate government activities addressing family violence; little or no formal planning for implementation for many of the planned actions; responsibility for implementation often assigned to agencies and individuals without the resources, skills and experience to do the work; and a significant failure to complete strategies for Maori. The thesis also recommends a range of changes that could improve implementation outcomes in the future. It recommends a modified structure where overall governance, leadership and coordination infrastructure is independent of any single agency.
