PARVAN SIR Sub-Committee

In collaboration with the NSW Ministry of Health, the Prevention and Response to Violence, Abuse and Neglect (PARVAN) sub-committee was established in late 2021.

The PARVAN Unit aims to ensure NSW Health delivers services to children, young people and adults who are victims of violence, abuse and neglect based on evidence and by providing culturally safe and trauma informed responses. PARVAN supports and drives NSW Health policy and practice priorities in relation to the prevention, identification, response to:

  • domestic and family violence
  • Aboriginal family violence
  • adult and child sexual assault
  • child physical and emotional abuse and neglect
  • working with adult survivors of child sexual assault
  • children and young people with problematic or harmful sexual behaviours
  • medical and forensic examinations relating to sexual assault, child protection or domestic and family violence.

Further information relating to the PARVAN Unit and its activities can be found on the NSW Health website.

During the reporting period, two SAER reports (all Harm Scores) were referred to PARVAN by one of the five SAER/SIR sub-committees. Data related to these SAERs are included within classifications provided for the other sub-committees.

We pay respect to the Traditional Custodians and First Peoples of NSW, and acknowledge their continued connection to their country and culture.
