 The contents of this Manual evolved
during the DAPHNE project BRIDGING GAPS, implemented by WAVE from
April 2005 to March 2006. It is the final result of the project.
The aim of the project was to develop guidelines and standards
for good cooperation between state agencies and women's NGOs. The
manual is based on the contributions of "bridging gaps" project
partners from 11 European countries and draws upon the work and
experiences of many committed experts and academics in the field.
Coordinated interventions are needed to achieve the goal of
preventing violence; no agency can succeed in isolation. Effective
teamwork is needed rather than single players. This Manual aims at
contributing to the development and improvement of effective
multi-agency cooperation by providing background information as well
as concrete guidance and recommendations. It is one of the main
goals of this Manual to focus on the protection and safety of
victims. All agencies involved in the issue, especially the police
and the justice system, have a responsibility to protect the
victims, to prevent further violence and to provide the best and
most effective services and interventions.
WAVE wants to thank the European Commission, all the project
partners and associated partners as well as all the people and
institutions who directly or indirectly supported this project.
