We work to end domestic abuse and protect victims by disrupting, challenging, and changing the behaviour of those who are causing harm. Together we have developed the Drive Project to address a gap in work with high-harm, high-risk perpetrators of domestic abuse. We also work to advocate for systems and policy change- to develop sustainable, national systems that respond more effectively to all perpetrators of domestic abuse.Our visionOur vision is that by 2026 there will be a consistent approach which sees agencies in all PCC and local authority areas across England and Wales – backed by national leaders – working together to disrupt abuse and change behaviour to increase safety for victim-survivors, including children and families.Our way of workingPartnership is fundamental to our way of working. We are second-tier organisation focusing on the continuous improvement of service models, sharing best practice and supporting specialist service providers to deliver. We have four core strands of work: • The Drive Project is our flagship intervention working with high-harm, high-risk and serial perpetrators of domestic abuse to prevent their abusive behaviour and protect victims. The Drive Project challenges perpetrators to change and works with partner agencies – like the police and social services – to provide a co-ordinated community response and disrupt abuse.• Restart is an innovative pilot project providing earlier intervention for families experiencing domestic abuse. It brings together domestic abuse services, children’s social care and housing teams to identify and respond to patterns of domestic abuse at an earlier stage. Restart is currently being delivered in five London Boroughs.• The Drive National Systems Change programme works across the domestic abuse specialist sector, public sector partners and beyond to identify and find solutions to systemic gaps in the provision and response to DA perpetrators with the aim of developing sustainable, national systems that respond to all perpetrators of domestic abuse and increase safety for victim-survivors across all communities. 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. And we challenge perpetrators to change, asking ‘why doesn’t he stop?’ rather than ‘why doesn’t she leave?’. This applies whatever the gender of the victim or perpetrator and whatever the nature of their relationship. Together we can end domestic abuse. Forever.
