The Respect "accredited" programmes

Despite still insisting on "RESPECT accredited programmes", even in the face of increasing evidence against their effectiveness, it appears that CAFCASS have removed the list of RESPECT accredited programmes from their website. So to enable you to quickly see where the programmes are and what they mainly do this list is added.

The truly amazing thing is that CAFCASS, as the children's guardians and representatives, still recognise an "accreditor" whose soul interest is in advancing a feminist ideology!

NON-ACCREDITED BUT THERAPEUTICALLY BASED PROGRAMMES:

THE EVERYMAN CENTRE IN LONDON

THE BRAVE PROJECT IN BRADFORD

TEMPER DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN BIRMINGHAM AND LONDON

PETERBOROUGH RELATIONSHIP SERVICES

THIS IS A LIST OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RISK ASSESSORS WHO MAY WELL NOT BE "RESPECT ORIENTATED"

RESPECT DIRECTORY OF PROFESSIONALS ABLE TO UNDERTAKE EXPERT ASSESSMENTS - WITH THEIR COMPANY LINKS.
