These Family Violence Intervention Guidelines are a practical tool to help health providers make safe and effective interventions to assist victims of violence and abuse. They are consensus based guidelines based on expert opinion, research and clinical experience. They have been written as a generic health professional guidelines, setting out principles of intervention that will apply to a number of health professions and a number of clinical settings. It is expected that in due course individual health professions may formulate their own profession-specific child and partner abuse guidelines.

The guidelines are intended for use in conjunction with health professional training offered through the Ministry of Health Family Violence Project 2001-2004. Colleges and organisations endorsing the guidelines were involved in its development, and will be conducting and participating in the development of training programmes in child and partner abuse intervention.
