The Respect Young People’s Service (RYPS) has launched a bespoke website designed to support practitioners working with young people using harm in their close relationships.
The RYPS is an expert team within Respect, focusing on Child/Adolescent to Parent Violence and Abuse (CAPVA) and teenage relationship abuse. They offer a “whole system approach” to implementing and supporting local authorities’ approaches to CAPVA and teenage relationship abuse, and the new website will support this work, providing a hub where professionals can access support and share expertise.

The site’s exclusive practitioners’ area will be available to professionals who have received training to deliver RYPS programmes: either the Respect Young People’s Programme or the Dating Detox. These practitioners will have access to a complete library of printable, digital resources for their programme, as well as a forum to support networking and knowledge-sharing.
