Domestic, sexual and gender-based abuse (DSGBA) is a major societal challenge, gaps in knowledge and interagency collaboration impact the response to DSGBA at all levels. There are different types of knowledge needed to close
these gaps: experiential, policy, academic,
professional and front-line practitioners’ knowledge.
Working collaboratively is the
best way to end domestic, sexual and gender-based abuse. To support
this vision, Haven Horizons and Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) are developing a virtual Community of Practice (vCoP) which will promote the
sharing and transfer of knowledge across the sector. A PhD student, Claudine Donnellan will be facilitating
the establishment of the community.
