    Fears communities will be missing out on critical sexual violence prevention services

    Fears communities will be missing out on critical sexual violence prevention services


    ACC's paused the nationwide rollout of its Hikitia prevention programme.

    Minister Scott Simpson suggested last week he was looking at narrowing the scope of ACC responsibilities to sexual abuse victims.

    However, he says there's no connection with the programme's pause.

    Regardless, RespectEd chair Jan Logie says it leaves providers relying on donations from people - to do the work that keeps them and their children safe.

    She says it feels like a betrayal because the Government's been talking for years about how preventing family and sexual violence is a priority.
