The Gateway to Growth Programme is a risk-managed, evidence-based model of awareness raising that promotes understanding of the complexities and impact of controlling, abusive intimate relationships. It is tailored to support facilitators who have prior domestic abuse knowledge and training to provide empowering one-to-one sessions for those who are no longer in controlling and abusive relationships. ​At the time of development, every precaution was taken to ensure the content of this manual is based on reliable, accurate sources.

Gateway to Growth Programme participants require ongoing access to national and local support information and health practitioners if medical advice or counselling is required. Gateway facilitators are responsible for sourcing local support information for participants. The inclusion of support agencies within the Gateway to Growth Programme Facilitator Manual does not indicate a recommendation, websites are provided solely for informational purposes.

Provision of isolated Gateway to Growth sessions is unsafe practice that invalidates the evidence-based nature of the programme.
