This innovative service brings a trauma-informed approach to support individuals who have caused or who are causing harm in their intimate and/ or family relationships and their families and for victims with additional complex needs referred through the Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC)
Bradford RESET uniquely combines our Navigator existing services focused on domestic abuse, delivered by Bridge, with an extensive new programme offer for individuals aged 16 and over who cause harm. This integration creates a vibrant opportunity for Bradford to tackle the underlying causes of domestic abuse by providing effective, therapeutic, and proactive support. We recognise the importance of holistic family wellness and safety, offering therapeutic support for entire families affected by the behaviours of individuals involved in the programme.
This post is for a MARAC Navigator and focusses on a selected group of victim cases that return to the MARAC due to repeated high-risk domestic abuse incidents where engagement with either the victim or perpetrator in the co-ordinated action plan has been unsuccessful. The MARAC Navigators will receive all referrals from the MARAC meetings, working with a small caseload of typically 10 cases each. MARAC Navigator will aim to:

- Pathway any cohobating people who harm to a navigator within the people who harm element of the Bradford RESET service to enable them to address issues that contribute to incidents of abuse
- Proactivity and intensively conduct face to face work with the victim to build all the networks of support that wrap around the individual to facilitate recovery, building and sustaining hope
- Work as part of a wider team to build and evidence what future support should look like.
A Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) is a weekly meeting where information is shared on the highest risk domestic abuse cases between representatives of local police, health, child protection, housing practitioners, Independent Domestic Violence Advisors (IDVAs), probation and other specialists from the statutory and voluntary sectors. At the heart of a MARAC is the working assumption that no single agency or individual can see the complete picture of the life of a victim or perpetrator and any children, but all may have insights that are crucial to their safety. After sharing all relevant information, they have about a victim, any children and the perpetrator, the representatives discuss options for increasing safety and turn these into a co-ordinated action plan.
