description Domestic abuse is a significant concern with serious psychological, social, societal and economic impacts. Consequently there has been increased focus by policy makers, statutory and third sector agencies on addressing harms associated with domestic abuse and fostering healthy intimate and domestic relationships. Whilst traditional approaches to addressing domestic abuse have sought to separate the ‘perpetrator’ and victim’, this paper details the development and implementation of a whole family approach to domestic abuse set within a community social services setting. This includes a focus on the Equilibrium programme – an accredited strengths based, solution focused intervention that has been devised and established for those engaging in harmful behaviours. The importance of governance, programme support and practitioner supervision are discussed along with the ways these are employed by the service. The evaluation framework presented will enable the impact of the programme to be determined over the coming years.
