Our Vision is for Women and children in violence free communities living Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

We believe in:

• Te Tiriti o Waitangi guiding our practice
• Accountability to ourselves, to women and other key interest groups
• Diversity
• All women and children having equitable access to our services
• Working with women and children in a respectful, confidential, sensitive and non-judgemental manner
• Living and modelling non violent and non abusive behaviour
• Providing a quality service by working in an ethical and professional manner
• Striving to improve our skills through, training, education and supervision
• Working with a feminist analysis which means an understanding of family violence as gender violence, namely: naming the violence, placing responsibility for violence where it belongs – no victim blaming, recognising the social, historical, cultural and political context in which family violence occurs; and assisting women and children to live without violence
