SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Social and Family Development is working with social service agencies to develop a common assessment and intervention framework to deal with cases of family violence, said its Minister of State Sun Xueling in Parliament on Wednesday .
A government task force on family violence said last year that there has been a steady increase in the number of enquiries and new cases on family violence received by social service centres. Beyond addressing immediate safety risks, the centres also provide counselling to survivors such as those who experience trauma as a result of the violence.
“We will cater for forensic-trained psychologists at each of the FVPCs and PAVE to enable them to work more effectively with survivors and perpetrators,” she added.
