Domestic Abuse Services

Using a variety of the leading, recognised, evidence-based assessment tools including the Spousal Assault Risk Assessment (SARA), our experienced team comprising of social workers and domestic abuse specialists can provide an evidence-based assessment of the risks posed by the individual together with a pathway recommendation for the brand new Up2U Creating Healthy Relationships 2 programme.

Conducted over 6 sessions, this robust assessment explores all areas of the perpetrator's life and offending history with the findings reflected in a comprehensive report suitable for use in court and local authority proceedings.

Adult Programmes

We offer family programmes for parents / carers who struggle to recognise and manage their emotions. This programme is also suitable for cases of neglect.

We recognise that some parents may wish to stay together whilst addressing their behaviours and we offer support to achieve this.

To be eligible for referral, the individual must accept their behaviour is unhealthy or abusive and they must want to change these behaviours.

Family Programmes

We offer programmes that are tailored to the individual based on our robust assessments. Programmes can last for up to 18 months depending on the level of risk. We offer both individual and group sessions for people using domestically abusive behaviours in their intimate partner relationships. Additionally, we offer support to the partner / ex-partner of the course participant to ensure their safety and to manage any risks.

To be eligible for referral, the individual must accept their behaviour is unhealthy or abusive and they must want to change these behaviours.
