The Other Side of the Story:Perpetrators in Change-Early Intervention Focus
Date and time
The OSSPC project has focused on capacity building work around early intervention with domestic abuse perpetrators.
About this event
The OSSPC project has been a 2.5 year European Commission funded project which has focused on capacity building work focusing on early intervention perpetrator identification and support. We can share findings from a unique cross-cultural comparison between policy and practice in the UK, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Romania. In this conference we will share the international research findings, learning from our capacity building training, and national roundtable which resulted in policy recommendations. The policy recommendations will be officially launched at this event.
