Aligned with where national policy is heading
Our model sits in the prevention and early-help space that national policy now prioritises: supporting parental mental health and recovery after domestic abuse, so that harm is interrupted early for both parents and children.
Freedom from Violence and Abuse
The Government's 2025 cross-government strategy prioritises prevention, early intervention, and breaking the intergenerational cycle of abuse.
Read the strategyDomestic Abuse Act 2021
The Act recognises children as victims of domestic abuse in their own right. Our reconnection work responds directly to that.
