Respect: Survey on what interventions there are across the UK for people using intimate partner violence

Respect is doing some research on what interventions there are across the UK for people using intimate partner violence - which includes programmes and also interventions other than domestic violence programmes. This might be a Family Intervention Project (FIP), a couples counselling service which takes couples with ongoing domestic violence, family group conferencing, substance misuse programmes, other interventions run by social services or mental health projects - anything at all. They will be using this information to brief the Home Office about where the gaps are in services working with perpetrators and also to help us to plan how we support our members in training and development.
