The project is located in the North East region of the United Kingdom and falls under the main procurement category of services.

Businesses providing evaluation consultancy and probation services could find growth opportunities in this tender. The contract, aimed at reducing reoffending through early intervention, targets domestic abuse offenders and engages with victims.

## Notice

Project CARA: Cautioning and Relationship Abuse sits within the criminal justice system as an early 'awareness raising diversionary' intervention targeting offenders who have received a Conditional Caution. Conditional Cautions for domestic abuse will soon be changing to Diversionary Cautions. Through engagement in two workshops and feedback from victims, CARA enables offenders to understand what domestic abuse is, the impact, and its consequences. Workshops are designed to maximise engagement with offenders and to nudge them into specialist services with the aim of reducing reoffending. It also engages with victims, and ensures they are aware of local specialist domestic abuse services.
