psychologists and social workers from all regions of Ukraine studied psychological peculiarities of domestic violence perpetrators and obtained professional skills for correcting perpetrators’ aggressive behaviour. To raise effectiveness of addressing domestic violence, training courses also focused on enhancing co-operation between social workers and precinct police inspectors. In October and November, the PCU, upon request from the Ministry for Family, Youth and Sports, supported five field visits of a multi-agency expert group to selected regions of Ukraine. During the visits, the representatives from the Ministry for Family, Youth and Sports, the MoI, the State Institute for Family and Youth Development and the State Social Services discussed practical co-operation between social service providers and the police in providing such corrective services in Zaporizhia, Ternopol, Zhytomyr and the Kyiv regions and in the city of Sevastopol. The outcomes of the field visits, including good practices and lessons learned, were discussed at a national workshop on the implementation of the corrective programmes, held in December 2010. ****** 71
