DRIVE Project
DRIVE is a collaborative approach to tackling domestic abuse, liaising with police officers, support agencies, caseworks and directly with those presenting abusive, challenging, and violent behaviour. The service focuses on high risk and serial perpetrators, encouraging and enabling more engagement with recovery programmes and tackling those with the greatest risk of harm. Referrals will come either from Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) via partner agencies or directly from the police.
In 2022/2023 Drive covered Herefordshire and Worcestershire areas.
My Time
