On Tuesday, 11th of February, 17 members of the IMPRODOVA Consortium met in Amsterdam to discuss the current status of IMPRODOVA research. The main focus was on discussing the most suitable approaches for closing existing knowledge gaps of the various frontline responders by development of an online learning platform as well as a risk assessment module that will be available for practitioners.

French key stakeholders got information on the evolution of IMPRODOVA’s work on the improvement of response to domestic abuse on 21.01.2020 in Paris.

On the 21st of November, Prof. Dr. Dr. Bettina Pfleiderer and Lisa Richter from the WWU team presented first results of the IMPRODOVA work to practitioners from the medical profession.

Considering all the literature and the scheme dedicated to fight against domestic violence (DV), it’s not particularly easy to be accepted by different national stakeholders with a new project. Nevertheless the approach of IMPRODOVA is a real opportunity to open some doors. We can indeed notice that the collaboration between police forces, i.e. practitioners, and the research world is real plus. The different meetings and the net we build weeks after weeks can illustrate this.
