Respect Standard

Respect Accreditation for work with perpetrators of domestic abuse is based on a set of working principles outlined in the Respect Standard. All Respect Accredited services are held to this standard to ensure only safe and effective work with perpetrators of domestic abuse takes place.

Work with perpetrators of domestic abuse has the potential to increase harm to survivors. That’s why we are committed to making sure that only safe work with perpetrators is carried out and that’s why we will only refer or recommend Respect Accredited services.

All accredited services are required to go through an audit every 3 years or when there have been any drastic changes to the way they operate. Respect Accreditation certification is only valid when a service has passed their accreditation assessment and re-assessments.
