Dear Mr Wiffen
The East London Probation
run a “court ordered” perpetrator programme of all boroughs
in the region this is for both female and male perpetrators of domestic
violence.
Barking and Dagenham are
in the process of setting up a “non-court ordered” perpetrator
programme which will be launched in February. It will be run by the
Domestic Violence Intervention Project currently providing this service
in other boroughs.
For the year 2007/08 the
Local Authority are contributing 35K to this programme, this will
be reassessed next year.
If I can be of any further
assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours Sincerely
