In 2020 Hampton Trust partnered with Restorative Solutions CIC to deliver CARA in West Yorkshire, the first partnership delivery of CARA. Restorative Solutions CIC were awarded a contract by the West Yorkshire Police & Crime Commissioner (since transferred to the Mayor of West Yorkshire) and provide Project CARA under licence.
From the start of the partnership, Restorative Solutions CIC received support and guidance from Hampton Trust for recruitment, mobilisation, and service delivery. Hampton Trust delivers CARA facilitator training and provides course materials as well as quality assurance and supervision. Data for CARA in West Yorkshire is submitted to Hampton Trust and contributes to a national CARA performance picture.
Since 2023, several more police regions have adopted this delivery model and offer CARA in partnership with Hampton Trust and a trusted local provider.
Initially piloted in Southampton in 2011, CARA launched force-wide in 2015 and offers CARA to male and female offenders of intimate partner domestic abuse (IPV) as well as male offenders of non-intimate (inter-family) domestic abuse (Non-IPV).
Delivery in the West Midlands started in 2016, the first CARA mobilisation outside of Hampshire.
