The Drive Partnership is seeking an Independent Evaluator for new culturally specific and LGBT+ specific Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Programmes (DAPPs) and Integrated Support Services (ISS), which have been recently launched by specialist delivery partners as part of the Drive Partnership’s National Systems Change work.
The specialist programmes include:
- Pamoja Njia Bora, designed for Black African, Caribbean, and Mixed Heritage communities
- CHAB – Changing Harmful Attitudes and Behaviour, designed for South Asian communities
- LEVEL, designed for LGBT+ communities
The launch of these specialist services marks the culmination of two years of co-design and development work undertaken by three co-design groups and an Advisory Group, and is an important step towards addressing systemic gaps in service provision, meeting the needs of all communities, and increasing the safety and freedom of all victim-survivors.
The Drive Partnership’s National Systems Change work seeks to identify and address systemic gaps in responses to domestic abuse by bringing together the insights of survivors, service users, practitioners, specialist organisations, researchers and policy makers to build solutions. In 2023, the Drive Partnership launched a new phase of its National Systems Change work, thanks to further funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, and Treebeard Trust, to partner with specialist by-and-for organisations and experts to co-design responses to domestic abuse.
The closing date for expressions of interest is Monday 8th September 2025
