We identify systemic gaps and build solutions that keep survivors safer by addressing those causing harm.• Domestic Abuse Protection Orders (DAPO) Positive Requirements Triage Team works as part of the Government’s DAPO pilots to ensure that referrals from courts and policing are assessed and referred to the most appropriate DA perpetrator, mental health or substance misuse intervention.About SafeLivesWe are SafeLives, the UK-wide charity dedicated to ending domestic abuse, for everyone and for good. We work with organisations across the UK to transform the response to domestic abuse. We want what you would want for your best friend. We listen to survivors, putting their voices at the heart of our thinking. We look at the whole picture for each individual and family to get the right help at the right time to make families everywhere safe and well.
