Mandatory Reporting of Intimate Partner Violence (Manreport-IPV)

Duration
–

Different perceptions and experiences of the duty of confidentiality, the right to provide information, and mandatory reporting may pose significant challenges. MANREPORT-IPV is a cross-professional study examining service providers’ mandatory reporting of intimate partner violence (IPV). IPV is a serious public health problem, even in Norway. Evidence reveals that in a majority of intimate partner homicides, the perpetrator or the victim has been in contact with service providers previous to the homicide. This finding indicates a potential for prevention.
