Project title: Accreditation Preparation Grant

Project duration: 8 months

Since receiving its first WWP grant in 2023, NAIA has continuously strengthened its perpetrator programme in key areas such as child protection, risk assessment, and multi-agency cooperation. Following a pilot of the accreditation process, NAIA received a report confirming compliance with several core European standards, along with recommendations for further improvement. In 2025, NAIA actively addressed these recommendations, making participation in the full accreditation process a natural next step.

Project title: ALIGN – Accountability, Learning and Integration for Gender-informed Networks 

Italy 

Project duration: 8 months

This project comes from RELIVE’s 2024 self-assessment and the network’s ongoing work to improve quality and accountability in perpetrator programmes. This project aims to strengthen shared practices linked to European and national standards, focusing on improving victim safety, protecting children, and increasing the overall quality of perpetrator programmes.  

The project also strengthens how RELIVE works as a network. A clearer process for welcoming and supporting new member organisations will help ensure that all members meet basic standards on safety, child protection, and gender-informed practice. 

Overall, the project aims to make programmes safer, more consistent, and more reliable in their work to prevent further violence. It also supports closer cooperation with victim support services and a stronger focus on children affected by domestic violence.

Project title: Strengthening of Perpetrators Programmes in Slovenia III

Project duration: 8 months

The Association for Nonviolent Communication has developed its perpetrator programme in line with European standards, strengthening risk assessment, safety planning, partner contact, and internal supervision. While key systems for partner contact and outcome monitoring exist, they are not yet fully integrated into daily practice. This project aims to make them routine and ensure that expansion does not reduce quality or safety. 

By aligning with European standards, they contribute to a more consistent, evidence-based and safer response to domestic violence across Europe. 

Additionally, DNK has also received an accreditation preparation grant. Over the past five years, DNK has developed their perpetrator programme in alignment with the European Standards. Pursuing European accreditation for their programme is driven by the aim of enhancing the credibility and validity of their interventions. This commitment ensures that the organisation contributes meaningfully to a safer, more coordinated European response to domestic violence.

In Finland, work with male perpetrators in Finland is still a "marginal" entity in planning and implementation. Since 2000, LLA have developed their perpetrator programme in such a way that today it considers not only men who have used violence, but also the survivors and their children. Attaining a European Accreditation would increase the understanding of important work done by LLA and the need of sufficiently long processes in working with perpetrators. Accreditation would serve as a strategic implement for our organisation and as a strong civic engagement in relation to the identification and reduction of gender-based violence.

Project duration: 8 months

In 2024, UCPU’s self-assessment identified three priority areas for improvement: risk assessment, child protection, and raising awareness of the programme within the community. 

To address these, UCPU´s project is aimed at strengthening its risk assessment practices by reviewing existing tools and developing a clear internal Operational Protocol. At the same time, a dedicated child protection framework is being established, based on an in-depth understanding of children’s exposure to violence, to ensure their safety is fully integrated into the programme’s work. 

As part of the grant, UCPU will also make efforts are to increase outreach and accessibility, including improving professionals’ ability to detect violence early and strengthening knowledge of referral pathways to the perpetrator programme. A key goal is to expand access for men who are not court-mandated to attend, encouraging voluntary participation and referrals from services and professionals.

Project title: SAFE-CAM: Strengthening safety and standards in CAM Programmes

Project duration: 8 months

Building on CAM´s grant project in 2025, this year´s project strengthens the quality, safety and sustainability of their perpetrator programme, in line with European and Italian standards. Key actions include the standardisation of partner contact procedures and the development of a child-protection policy, ensuring victim safety.

Project title: Development and implementation of procedures for cooperation

Project duration: 8 months

While perpetrator programmes have long been implemented by UZOR alongside partner support services, coordination has largely relied on informal, case-by-case practices, shaped by outdated national standards and limited funding. This project addresses these gaps by ensuring the continuity of the perpetrator programme and establishing clear, formal procedures for cooperation between perpetrator programmes and partner services. Key activities include securing stable funding, setting up a multidisciplinary coordination team, and developing protocols for risk assessment, information sharing, and child protection, while strengthening structured, inter-professional collaboration through coordinated case management.

Project title: Development and implementation of procedures for cooperation

Project duration: 8 months

This project builds on a recent self-assessment of the PROTEAS programme, which found strong alignment with the WWP-EN European Standards but also identified areas for improvement. These include improving how survivor information and feedback are collected and used throughout the process, strengthening shared risk assessment and management, ensuring clear separation between perpetrator services and victim support services across all locations, and developing a more systematic approach to programme evaluation, including the gradual introduction of the WWP-EN IMPACT Toolkit. 

The project responds to these gaps by strengthening existing good practice and improving internal systems. This will enhance safety, accountability, and quality for survivors of domestic violence, including women and children, and contribute to a stronger overall response to gender-based violence.
