In response to the widespread need for specialised training in the medical sector, the EU-funded project “VIPROM – Victim Protection in Medicine” aims to harness the practical knowledge of medical staff to improve multi-professional contact with victims of domestic violence. The VIPROM project is developing curricula on domestic violence for medical professionals and students (physicians, nurses, midwives, medical students, dentists and dental students) in close cooperation with medical faculties, hospitals, research organisations, medical educators and victim support organisations in Austria, Germany, Greece, Italy and Sweden. This deliverable D3.2 "Design of EU and National Trainer-the-Trainer Curricula Tailored to Various Frontline Responders," outlines the underlying processes in T3.3 in the design of EU and national Trainer-the-Trainer curricula tailored to different frontline responders. A Trainer-the-Trainer (TtT) course and related curricula were designed to facilitate comparable pilot trainings for stakeholder groups in all partner countries, based on high quality, state-of-the-art training methods and taking into account the challenges faced by stakeholders in the clinical context. A short and comprehensive Trainer-the-Trainer handbook for TtT course participants, introducing the didactic concepts of the VIPROM curricula, was developed with input from all partners to accompany the TtT course. The handbook is available in English and has been translated into German, Italian, Swedish and Greek. There is also a version specifically adapted to the Austrian national context.
