The Drive partners provide ongoing governance and leadership for all of our work through a joint project board.

The Drive Project

The Drive Project is our flagship intervention working with those causing harm in their relationships to prevent abusive behaviour and protect victim-survivors. Service users have been assessed as posing a high-risk, high-harm level of domestic abuse to the people that they are in intimate or family relationships with.
