The Provision of The Drive Project (Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Intervention)

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire would like to partner with a Provider to deliver the Drive Project (domestic abuse perpetrator intervention) across Northamptonshire.

The Drive Project is a response to domestic abuse that aims to reduce the number of child and adult victims of domestic abuse by disrupting and changing perpetrator behaviour. It implements a whole-system approach through an intensive individual case management intervention alongside a co-ordinated multi-agency response to drive perpetrators to change their behaviour. The Drive Project focuses on increasing victim safety alongside the crucial protective work of victims' services.

The Drive Project focuses on priority high-risk or serial perpetrators, both male and female, aged 16 and over, as this group carries the greatest risk of serious harm and engage poorly in available services. By addressing perpetrators' behaviour Drive targets the root cause of domestic abuse and improves outcomes for victims and children. The key objectives are to:

• Reduce the number of serial perpetrators of domestic abuse

• Reduce the number of repeat and new victims

• Reduce the harm caused to victims and children
