First established in 2015 by Respect, @safelives.bsky.social and @socialfinance.bsky.social, @drivepartnership.bsky.social was founded on a shared ambition to break the cycle of domestic abuse by challenging and changing the behaviour of those causing harm and supporting victim-survivors.

Ending violence means challenging both.

This is not an administrative failure. It is a profound failure of leadership, accountability and culture and we welcome all steps being taken now to address this, both by the Met and the Government.
