IMPRODOVA Training Platform

On this website IMPRODOVA provides training materials on domestic violence separate for the police, health sector, social sector and legal sector.

Welcome to the international site of the

training platform of the EU project IMPRODOVA .

IMPRODOVA is a research and innovation project concerning human factors shaping responses to domestic violence, a behavior causing physical, sexual or psychological harm, including physical aggression, sexual coercion, psychological abuse and controlling behavior. IMPRODOVA’s operational definition of high impact domestic violence (HIDV) is serious violence within the family, against children, spouses and elderly family members. Seriousness can be intensity, duration and consequences of violence. Further information and how to contact us can be found here.

The IMPRODOVA team created a training video for medical (and other) frontline responders managing domestic abuse. The video introduces the fictional domestic abuse of ‘Rita’. It shows how the cooperation with other professionals can look to support Rita best.
