Non-offending partner programme

“Breaking the Cycle” - HTVC’s Partners’ Programme A Programme for the partners of men who have sexually offended against children.

This resource is aimed specifically to reduce the risk to children in situations where a parent has decided to remain with a convicted sexual offender, or someone whose behaviour had given rise to concerns about children’s safety. Although there are numerous protection courses organised by Social Services targeting the children in such cases, there is very little provision directed at partners.

The programme will inform participants on the professional understanding of child sexual abuse, to empower participants with knowledge that will ensure protection of children in the family, alongside support to decrease the isolation of the individual, in turn facilitating support networks which will strengthen the individual’s ability to protect.
