Positive requirements in DAPOs

APPG on Perpetrators of Domestic Abuse (11 March 2021)  

Our most recent APPG focused on DAPOs – the new Domestic Abuse Protection Orders that are created by the DA Bill - and on the aspect within them that allows judges to put positive requirements on DA perpetrators.

This paper was developed in advance of the meeting by the key speakers. This lays out some of the concerns and potential solutions around this issue. We welcome further thoughts on this paper and any feedback on how we can best make DAPOs work for victims.
