In December 2021, Cabinet Ministers agreed to establish the Joint Venture for Family Violence and Sexual Violence as an interdepartmental executive board, the Executive Board for the Elimination of Family Violence and Sexual Violence (Executive Board).
The Cabinet paper and Minute(external link) are available on the Public Service Commission website.
The Executive Board reports to the Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence and Sexual Violence, Hon Karen Chhour.
Chief Executives of nine agencies work together as the Executive Board to align government strategy, policy and investment and deliver Te Aorerekura - the National Strategy to Eliminate Family Violence and Sexual Violence.
The Chief Executives of the following agencies are part of the Executive Board.
· Ministry of Justice
· Department of Corrections
· Ministry of Education
· Ministry of Social Development
· Oranga Tamariki
· Te Puna Kōkiri
· New Zealand Police
· Ministry of Health
· ACC (independent advisor)*
The Executive Board is chaired by Andrew Kibblewhite, Chief Executive, Ministry of Justice.
The Centre for Family Violence and Sexual Violence Prevention supports the Executive Board in delivering Te Aorerekura. The Centre is led by Acting Chief Executive, Cam Sherley.
*ACC is a Crown agent, and the Chief Executive cannot be designated as a member of an Interdepartmental Executive Board. Instead, the Public Service Commissioner has appointed the Chief Executive of ACC as an independent advisor to the Executive Board.
