The Bradford RESET service, which stands for Recognising, Engaging and Supporting Everyone to Transform is an innovative service bringing a trauma-informed approach to support individuals who have caused or who are causing harm in their intimate and/ or family relationships and for those with additional complex needs within our community. Bradford RESET is led by Bridge in partnership with Create Strength Group.
Bradford RESET uniquely combines two 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.

The Case Worker will be working within our trauma-informed model that addresses the root causes of domestic abuse, proactively engaging with resistance and compliance challenges through therapeutic individual and group work programmes. Each component not only focuses on behaviour change but also addresses broader health and wellbeing determinants. This service is committed to inclusive practices, believing that people’s wellbeing and safety are significantly improved when they are actively engaged in our programmes.

While funding beyond March 2027 remains subject to government spending reviews and funding cycles, Drive is a well-established, evidence-based model that is currently under national roll-out, reflecting continued national prioritisation of whole-system responses to high-harm domestic abuse.
In recognition of the commitment involved in joining a time-limited, externally funded programme, the organisation offers a £2,000 retention payment.
