About Respect:
Respect is a pioneering UK membership organisation in the domestic abuse sector. Founded in 2000, we have built our expertise over the last 26 years in what was then a fledgling sector, and recently have seen significant and rapid growth.
Our Vision
Our vision is to end domestic abuse. It’s a simple ask and a daunting task. We know it will take generations of hard work to get there. In the meantime, we want to live in a world where domestic abuse is not tolerated, where perpetrators are held to account and survivors’ safety and wellbeing is centred.
Our Focus
We know that we cannot achieve our vision on our own. The scale of the problem is just too big and complex for one organisation alone to solve. It requires coordinated action across society, with everyone – specialist service providers, statutory agencies, policy makers, funders and commissioners, community groups and many others – working together.
We have chosen to focus on 3 key strands of work, so that:
• Perpetrators of domestic abuse: are held accountable, offered the chance to change, and stopped from causing further harm
• Young people who cause harm to family members/carers or in their intimate relationships: are offered responses that recognises both their vulnerability and the risk they pose
• Male victims of domestic abuse: are supported to escape and recover from the abuse they have experienced through a range of responses designed to meet their needs
Our Values
• We are pioneering - We explore innovative ideas and develop new approaches with curiosity and rigour.
• We are collaborative - We work in partnership with others who share our values to bring about individual, societal and systems change.
• We are accountable - We listen to survivors and centre their needs in our work. We hold perpetrators to account for their behaviour and hold ourselves and our members accountable for ours.
• We are respectful - We live up to our name. We are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion in all that we do. We are honest, compassionate and boldly challenge injustice.
