People who commit domestic abuse will have more opportunities to change their behaviour thanks to £1.2m of Home Office funding for perpetrator projects in Essex.
The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex, working in partnership with Essex County Council, Southend City Council and Thurrock Council made a successful bid to the Home Office’s Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Fund.
Roger Hirst said: “Breaking the cycle of domestic abuse is a key priority for us. By working in partnership to deliver projects which educate people we can prevent domestic abuse from happening in the first place and reduce the amount of harm this crime and behaviour causes.”
The money will mean that the Southend, Thurrock Domestic Abuse Board (SETDAB) can continue to fund innovative schemes including the Goodman and Sisters in Strength mentoring projects and The Change Hub perpetrator intervention programme for another two years.
Find out the full list of services and projects the funding will be supporting below.
