On initiative from the crisis centers secretariat- and organizations and the Norwegian Crisis Center Association, NKVTS has developed in a collaborative effort with the above mentioned organizations and the Ministry of Children, Equality and Social Inclusion a new registration form to monitor ongoing activity at the shelters. For the first time in 2003, most of the crisis shelters used this standardized registration form.
NKVTS was assigned by the Ministry of Children, Equality and Social Inclusion to collect statistical data regarding the crisis centers activity during 2004 and to develop an overview of data, distributed among the different counties and municipalities, concerning how many telephone- and general consultations they had, and how many women, children and men resided at the crisis centers. Also presented are the number of shelters that are economically sustained by their municipality. The statistical data set is presented in the following memorandum.
