Up2U: designing and validating a new evidence-based programme for perpetrators of domestic abuse who want to change
Recommendations were drafted aligned with Home Office standards for domestic abuse perpetrator intervention. Designing flexible, evidence-based programmes that center on victim safety while holding perpetrators accountable was a crucial element of the study. Well-trained, supported facilitators and accessible, engaging content are essential for meaningful participation. Ongoing monitoring and impact evaluation to track behavioral changes are proposed.
