Our vision We want a world where everyone is free from domestic abuse. Where it is never ok to control, harm or cause fear. Where those who perpetrate domestic abuse are stopped, held to account and given the chance to change. Our mission We work with our members, partners and allies to stop the harms done by those who perpetrate domestic abuse. With innovative practice, robust research and quality data, we build evidence of what works, promote safe, effective practice and drive high standards. We use our voice, in collaboration with others, to call for a response to domestic abuse that matches the scale of the problem. We will not stop, until domestic abuse stops. Our Focus Respect was founded to focus on perpetrators of domestic abuse and this, including our vital work with young people who cause harm, will remain our key priority. Our work with male victims will continue as an important, distinct, project. Our Values Pioneering We explore innovative ideas and develop new approaches with curiosity and rigour.

About the Centre for Excellence The Centre for Excellence is a key pillar of Respect's Strategy. Following our first 25 years of development, innovation and leadership in the perpetrator sector, there are significant opportunities ahead to harness collective learning, to collaborate beyond traditional partnerships, and to create the evidence for a radical shift in approach, to achieve an end to the perpetration of domestic abuse. To achieve this radical shift, Respect is establishing a Centre for Excellence to bring together practice and research expertise to transform our understanding and knowledge of what works to address the perpetration of domestic abuse. Consultation with over 50 key stakeholders has provided strong endorsement for the Centre for Excellence, with a clear consensus regarding the identified need for this initiative. The Centre for Excellence will contribute to two primary outcomes: improved practice in the development and delivery of safe, effective perpetrator responses; and enhanced policymaking and commissioning informed by data, evidence, research, and best practice. About the role: This is a pivotal leadership role, responsible for guiding the further development and strategic direction of Respect's Centre for Excellence. Following a period of consultation and development Respect is looking for an ambitious and dynamic leader to take forward the delivery of this visionary and high-impact initiative. We have done the groundwork and secured early funding and have begun some early delivery work. A key aspect of the role will be establishing a sustainable delivery and funding model.

Our vision We want a world where everyone is free from domestic abuse. Where it is never ok to control, harm or cause fear. Where those who perpetrate domestic abuse are stopped, held to account and given the chance to change. Our mission We work with our members, partners and allies to stop the harms done by those who perpetrate domestic abuse. With innovative practice, robust research and quality data, we build evidence of what works, promote safe, effective practice and drive high standards. We use our voice, in collaboration with others, to call for a response to domestic abuse that matches the scale of the problem. We will not stop, until domestic abuse stops. Our Focus Respect was founded to focus on perpetrators of domestic abuse and this, including our vital work with young people who cause harm, will remain our key priority. Our work with male victims will continue as an important, distinct, project. Our Values Pioneering We explore innovative ideas and develop new approaches with curiosity and rigour. Collaborative We work in partnership with our members, partners and allies to bring about individual, societal and systems change.

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. About the Centre for Excellence The Centre for Excellence is a key pillar of Respect's Strategy. Following our first 25 years of development, innovation and leadership in the perpetrator sector, there are significant opportunities ahead to harness collective learning, to collaborate beyond traditional partnerships, and to create the evidence for a radical shift in approach, to achieve an end to the perpetration of domestic abuse. To achieve this radical shift, Respect is establishing a Centre for Excellence to bring together practice and research expertise to transform our understanding and knowledge of what works to address the perpetration of domestic abuse. Consultation with over 50 key stakeholders has provided strong endorsement for the Centre for Excellence, with a clear consensus regarding the identified need for this initiative. The Centre for Excellence will contribute to two primary outcomes: improved practice in the development and delivery of safe, effective perpetrator responses; and enhanced policymaking and commissioning informed by data, evidence, research, and best practice. About the role: This is a pivotal leadership role, responsible for guiding the further development and strategic direction of Respect's Centre for Excellence. Following a period of consultation and development Respect is looking for an ambitious and dynamic leader to take forward the delivery of this visionary and high-impact initiative.
