In this chapter, Rebecca Barnes and Catherine Donovan make the case for the development of inclusive interventions for domestically violent and abusive lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender (LGB and/or T) perpetrators, drawing on findings from the Coral Project. The chapter begins by briefly reviewing what is known, to date, about LGB and/or T domestic violence and abuse (DVA) and what the current provision is for perpetrators of DVA in the UK, consequently highlighting the gap in provision for LGB and/or T perpetrators. Findings from the Coral Project are then presented to evidence the demand for LGB and/or T perpetrator interventions. The analysis subsequently presents practitioners’ perspectives on the needs of LGB and/or T perpetrators and opportunities for, and barriers to, developing inclusive interventions. The chapter concludes with a call for a more integrated response to LGB and/or T DVA from a wider range of practice settings.
