Some would argue that writing high-quality reports is just as important as delivering high-quality interventions with perpetrators—and this is not far from the truth. Even the most effective interventions can be undermined if the reports provided to institutions are inadequate. Much like poorly designed perpetrator programmes, weak reporting can compromise the safety of victims (both women and children), create additional risks, enable perpetrators to manipulate key institutions such as courts and child protection services, and mislead decision-making processes. On the other hand, well-prepared, high-quality reports can strengthen perpetrator accountability, enhance victim safety, and support a coordinated community response in the right direction.

This training will help you understand the complexity of reporting within perpetrator work and equip you with the skills needed to produce effective, meaningful reports. And no—simply providing information on programme attendance is far from sufficient.
