Survey

Backbone has been contracted by The Ministry of Social Development (MSD) to find out from women who have experienced family violence (including in dating relationships and relationships where there are no children involved) what longer term support and services women and their children need in New Zealand to help them recover and rebuild their lives.

This Backbone survey is one piece of work that MSD is undertaking to gather whānau voices to help design the Whānau Resilience work programme. You can read more about it on the MSD website.

The survey will be open for four weeks and closes on 1 December 2019.

Women do not need to have had involvement with the Family Court, or reached out to services in the past in order to take part.

They would love to hear from as many women in New Zealand as possible. Please share the survey link with women you know who might be interested.
