South Yorkshire Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Programme - Inspire to Change

Descriptions

The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority is looking to commission a Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Programme. Following the Mayoral election in May 2024, the Mayor took on the functions of the Police and Crime Commissioner. These functions include listening to the needs of communities, securing victim support services, setting the objectives for the police force, and holding the Chief Constable to account. Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Programmes (DAPPs) are structured interventions designed to address and change the harmful behaviours of individuals who have committed domestic abuse. These programmes aim to increase the safety and wellbeing of victims (as defined in the DA Act), by helping perpetrators understand the impact of their actions and develop healthier, non-abusive ways of relating to others. These programmes are a critical component of a coordinated community response to domestic abuse, aiming to enhance victim safety and promote long term behavioural change in perpetrators.
