Description
These policy recommendations are based on previous work from the Online Professional Education for Physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals on Domestic Violence (OPEP-DV) project, including research carried out across partner countries (Cyprus, Estonia, Greece and Spain). The report comments on structural issues with education and capacity building, as well as legal, policy and funding across the EU. It comments on the lack of knowledge around domestic violence in the healthcare sector as well as the absence of referral frameworks to support victims, emphasising the role of the sector in tackling this issue and protecting victims. More resources and tools developed in the context of OPEP-DV can be found on the project website here.
