## 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.
