Hello Michael
In response to your request for information in accordance with the
Feedom of information Act, I would supply the following data:
For the past two years the Durham County domestic violence strategy
group have facilitated a voluntary programme for male perpetrators.
It is a 34 week programme which runs once a year, and is open to any
male perpetrator in the county. In Easington District, men who identify
themselves as domestic violence perpetrators and request help are
referred to the county course. Funding for the programme is provided
by the County Strategy group, via Rachel Green, County DV Coordinator.
North Tees Women's Aid also facilitate voluntary male perpetrator
courses. They take referrals from their catchment areas which includes
the area of Peterlee within Easington District. It is a 30 week rolling
programme, funded by NTWA.
There are no female perpetrator courses.
Easington District Council do not currently provide financial assistance
for any perpetrator courses.
I hope this answers your query, please let me know if you need anything
further
Kind Regards
Mary Readman
