• PNP for investigatory services or procedures

• DSWD for psychosocial services

• DILG and the LGUs for anti-VAW services at the barangay, municipal, city and provincial levels

Each set is introduced by an Overview, followed by the Performance Standards and an Assessment Tool to guide compliance with the standards as well generate data for monitoring and evaluation purposes. A Baseline Report is also included to put the standards in context.
