Semi-Annual Progress Report for

Safe Havens: Supervised Visitation and Safe Exchange Grant Program

Brief Instructions: This form must be completed for each Safe Havens: Supervised Visitation and Safe Exchange Grant Program (Supervised Visitation) grant received. The grant administrator or coordinator must ensure that the form is completed fully with regard to all grant activities. If the program involves more than one site (either for provision of services or for planning), there will still be only one form completed for each program. Grant partners, however, may complete sections relevant to their portion of the grant. Grant administrators or coordinators are responsible for compiling and submitting a single report that reflects all information collected from grant partners.

All grantees should read each section to determine which items they must answer, based on the activities engaged in under this grant during the current reporting period. Sections A1, B, C2, C3, E, and F of this form must be completed by all grantees. In subsections A2, C1, and C4, and section D, grantees must answer an initial question about whether they engaged in certain activities during the current reporting period. If the response is yes, then the grantee must complete that section or subsection. If the response is no, the rest of that section or subsection is skipped.

For example, if you receive funds to hire staff for the purposes of planning and protocol development, you will complete sections A, B, C2, C3, C4, E, and F (and answer ‘no’ in C1 and D); or if you receive funds to hire staff for services and training, you will complete sections A, B, C1, C2, C3, D, E, F (and answer ‘no’ in C4).

The activities of volunteers or interns should be reported if they are coordinated or supervised by Supervised Visitation Program-funded staff or if Supervised Visitation Program funds substantially support their activities.

For further information on filling out this form, refer to the separate set of instructions, which contains detailed definitions and examples, illustrating how questions should be answered.

Throughout this form, the term sexual assault includes both assaults committed by offenders who are strangers to the victim/survivor and assaults committed by offenders who are known to, related by blood or marriage to, or in a dating relationship with the victim/survivor. The term domestic violence/dating violence applies to any pattern of coercive behavior that is used by one person to gain power and control over a current or former intimate partner or dating partner. Stalking is defined as a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for his or her safety or the safety of others, or suffer substantial emotional distress. Child abuse means a threat to a child’s health or welfare by physical, mental, or emotional injury or impairment, sexual abuse or exploitation, deprivation of essential needs, or lack of protection from these, by a person responsible for the child (or as defined by your state’s statutes.)
