A tool that improves with time.
Lizzy offers bespoke surveys depending on the type of frontline service using it.
We recognise that clients serve different communities. Lizzy adapts to each context differently, so no two versions are ever the same.
We never have access to user identifiable information. Each client gets a bespoke server that only they have access to.
Lizzy is free for social workers and those who work in charities. We charge everyone else to keep the lights on.
Each client relationship involves two servers: one for data collected by clients, and one, managed by Frontline, for anonymised survey responses which allow us to train and improve the model. Frontline’s server never receives any identifiable information about users.
One of the world’s largest research agencies – YouGov. With their support we built a nationally representative panel of 7400 Germans. We check in with our panel every quarter, tracking their experiences of abuse – as victims, perpetrators and even bystanders.
This depends on the client and their agreement with Frontline. But updates can range from every quarter to a year.
Using either police or healthcare data to build Lizzy would make the model less accurate. Our research showed that different types of people approach different types of services for help. Building Lizzy using police information would make her less accurate in healthcare settings, and vice versa.
At Frontline, we believe the conversation needs to focus less on why victims don't leave, and more on why perpetrators don't stop abusing them. To get there, we are building tools to help us understand perpetrators' behaviour better.
Yes. We believe domestic violence is a crime that acutely and disproportionately affects women.
We want to live in a society where domestic abuse is identified by a member of frontline services within the first 100 days.
