SOL Domestic Abuse Perpetrator guided intervention service Intervention March 2026/2027

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council has awarded a contract to Waythrough for the provision of a domestic abuse perpetrator guided intervention service. Running from March 8, 2026, to March 7, 2027, with a potential extension until June 7, 2027, the agreement is valued at 207,918 pounds excluding VAT. The service involves co-locating specialist perpetrator practitioners within Children Services to work collaboratively with social care practitioners and specialist victims advocates. The primary objective of this initiative is to enhance the identification of and response to individuals who cause harm through domestic abuse. Rather than functioning as a formal perpetrator programme, the service acts as an intervention designed to support safe engagement with those causing harm. This approach aims to keep these individuals in view and provide the necessary guidance to encourage positive behavioral change.
