CARA has been designed to increase not only awareness of domestic abuse but also self-awareness and the motivation to address behaviours and make changes. It supports offenders in understanding what domestic abuse is, the harm their actions have caused, the impact this has had on their partners, children and relationships, and how to make different choices going forward and prevent these harmful behaviours from becoming more entrenched. The workshops offer support relevant to the needs of the participants and signpost to further specialist help, including comprehensive behaviour change programmes.
CARA supports offenders issued with a Caution to learn new, appropriate responses, increasing awareness of the harm caused to prevent behaviours from becoming more entrenched.
CARA works with police to ensure referred offenders are suitable and safe to engage with the intervention.
Domestic abuse victim experiences are central to CARA, from the police referral process to workshop content and linked victim contact support.
Established in 1996, we are leading in the design and delivery of bold and innovative early interventions, training, and education that help break the cycle of abuse by addressing the root cause of harmful behaviour and criminality. Our visionary rehabilitative interventions are both community-based as well as embedded within the criminal justice system.
Our primary objective is to prevent harmful behaviours from becoming entrenched and being passed down through generations by addressing the root cause of criminality.
However, we know that we can’t do this alone. Renowned for our track record in evidence-based and effective interventions and training, we work strategically with a range of local and national partners and policymakers to drive long-lasting transformative change within the system.
