RNZ have formed a memorandum of Understanding with CYF so that both social workers and SPCA inspectors can report abuse and neglect. The First Strike movement is in USA and addresses the correlation between animal and child abuse plus domestic violence. Randall Lockwood visited NZ a few years ago and he has been the leading light in USA in this study. NZ First Strike has undertaken research on women who have been in the refuge and the need for animal care during this time. As an independant SPCA centre we work with our refuge both in child visits to the centre to work with animals and to have some nurture time and to learn about kindness and gentleness. We also give accommodation for any pets that need to go from a place of violence to a place of safety while the family works out where to next. Domestic Violence comes in many forms and is not just a Male perpetrated area. Women can be just as violent and manipulative.
