The Drive Partnership, formed by Respect, SafeLives and Social Finance, is working to transform the national response to perpetrators of domestic abuse.
Huge congratulations to Respect UK on its 25th anniversary – a remarkable milestone!💚

It was an honour to celebrate 25 years of work, marked with a Parliamentary Reception on the first day of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.

Restart is a collaboration between The Drive Partnership, MOPAC, Respect, and Cranstoun, and has been delivered across five London Boroughs. It brings together children’s social care, housing and domestic abuse services to identify and respond to patterns of harmful behaviour at an earlier stage.
