The Independent DAPP programme is a 16-week structured behaviour change programme designed to support individuals in recognising harmful behaviour patterns towards their intimate partner and children, taking responsibility for their actions, and demonstrating meaningful engagement in change. The programme provides structured one-to-one sessions and professional reporting that may be used as evidence of engagement in family court proceedings

What the Programme Focuses On
Understanding Behaviour Patterns
The programme helps participants recognise patterns of harmful or controlling behaviour, including emotional abuse, coercive control, and unhealthy relationship dynamics.
Developing awareness of these patterns is the first step toward meaningful behaviour change.
Accountability and Responsibility
Participants are supported in taking responsibility for their behaviour and understanding the impact their actions may have had on intimate partners, children, and family relationships.
The programme focuses on genuine accountability rather than blame or denial.
Developing Safer Relationship Skills
Sessions focus on building healthier communication skills, emotional regulation, and strategies for managing conflict without harmful behaviour.
Participants learn practical tools for developing safer, more respectful relationships.
Demonstrating Behaviour Change
The structured programme provides a clear framework for demonstrating engagement and progress over time.
For individuals involved in family court proceedings, this can provide evidence of meaningful effort toward behavioural change.
