Evaluation: Family Violence Economic Harm Service
Evaluation of Good Shepherd NZ specialist Economic Harm Support Service.
Good Shepherd NZ’s specialist Economic Harm Support Service was developed and piloted for 12 months from November 2021. It aimed to:
- identify and provide the most appropriate support for people affected by economic harm
- establish whether there is a demand for such support
- identify improvements that could be made to financial, government and other services to reduce damage caused by economic harm
- identify actions that could prevent economic harm occurring in the first place.
This evaluation of the first 12 months includes qualitative and quantitative data. It includes case file data, assessment notes, monthly reports on debt levels and types of support provided and stakeholder interviews.
