Dear Mr Mortimer
You requested information
regarding:- How many domestic violence perpetrator programs their
are in Gateshead for
In accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act we have decided to provide you with the
information requested.
There are currently 2 programmes
operating in Gateshead for Male perpetrators of Domestic Violence.
One is a Probation programme for perpetrators mandated through the
criminal courts. The other is the Safer Families programme, which
is open to any male who acknowledges he has a problem with violence.
There are no programmes
thus far in Gateshead for female perpetrators, as we do not have any
evidence to suggest there is a need for such programmes at this stage.
In terms of funding, Gateshead
Council do not provide any funding for the Probation Programme, and
the Safer Families perpetrator Programme does not currently receive
funding from the Council for this element of the work.
Yours Faithfully
Tanya Rossington
