EVIVICO International – Strengthening Professional Practice in Intimate Partner Lethal Risk Assessment across Europe
Project Leader: Le Pôle de Ressources
The project aims to strengthen professional responses to the most critical cases of intimate partner violence by expanding access to the EVIVICO risk assessment tool across Europe. Designed specifically for high-risk situations, the tool supports structured, multidisciplinary and evidence-informed assessments of the risk of femicide, suicide, child homicide and child abduction.
Through the professional translation of EVIVICO into Dutch, English and Spanish, and the development of six comprehensive training videos, the project enhances professionals’ capacity to identify, assess and manage high-risk cases. Ultimately, it seeks to improve intersectoral cooperation and contribute to the prevention of lethal violence in intimate partner relationships.
