Evidence Base
The National Anglican Family Violence Project. National research into the nature and prevalence of family violence affecting Australian Anglicans.
“Following considerable public discussion in 2016 about IPV, we felt duty-bound to better understand its nature and prevalence in our community and develop and implement more effective responses. As a result, we embarked on a two-year project – three in-depth research reports into the prevalence, a study of clergy and lay leaders, and one-on-one interviews to capture personal experiences within our community.”
National Anglican Family Violence Project
The Anglican Church of Australia has conducted Australia’s first known national research into family violence within faith communities.
The National Anglican Family Violence Project (NAFVP) investigated the prevalence, experience, and impact of family violence for those who identify as Anglicans in Australia. An announcement launching the project in June 2019 is available here.
Research Findings
In June 2021 top line results of the research were released
In August 2021 the detailed research reports were released following presentation at the National Anglican Family Violence Project Working Conference. The objective of the conference was to share the research findings with diocesan representatives and to develop local and national initiatives in response.
