A roundtable discussion hears that young men are not receiving adequate support within the intimate partner violence safety net. Both reports say the issue is linked to a lack of programs that are specifically designed to meet young men’s needs, which results in some people “slipping through” existing services. The coverage focuses on gaps in targeted service delivery rather than on individual cases, describing a broader problem in how support is provided across the system. The discussion suggests that current resources and approaches may not be sufficiently tailored to engage younger male cohorts or address their circumstances effectively. While the reports do not provide detailed evidence, statistics, or names of the organisations involved, they present the central finding from the roundtable: the safety net for intimate partner violence does not adequately account for young men. The reports call attention to the need for more appropriately targeted programming to improve access and support outcomes for this group.
