About the research

In partnership with No to Violence, this project examined practitioners’ views on responding to sexual violence in DFV perpetrator interventions. The project examined how sexual violence is currently responded to, as well as practitioners’ training experience related to discussing sexual violence with perpetrators. This project further built the evidence base to enhance program responses to perpetrators of sexual violence. The findings will be beneficial for organisations developing and delivering perpetrator interventions and will soon be published in a publicly available final report, research brief and academic journal articles.
