Domestic Abuse Alliance

What Domestic Abuse Alliance does

Domestic Abuse Alliance Ltd is a UK private limited company founded in 2019 and headquartered in St Albans, England, that operates WEPROTECT, a free-to-use digital referral platform and mobile application connecting police forces, domestic abuse charities, IDVAs, and victim advocacy organisations to a network of regulated specialist family law solicitors. The platform standardises a 60-second referral workflow, surfaces real-time case dashboards for partner organisations, and integrates WETRANSLATE to provide translation and interpretation across more than 200 languages for victims with non-English first languages. Referred victims who qualify are routed into UK Legal Aid Agency-funded representation, with non-eligible cases covered on a pro bono basis by partner solicitors operating under the proprietary WEPROTECT Promise quality standard.

The company extends beyond WEPROTECT via two ancillary programmes: Legal Champions Academy, a training pipeline that develops domestic abuse legal specialists from internship through qualification, and Sharon's Policy, a workplace policy framework helping UK employers embed domestic abuse response in organisational culture. Domestic Abuse Alliance has scaled WEPROTECT to more than 10,000 registered professional users across policing and victim support services and 12+ named UK police forces, with partner coverage spanning Refuge, Veritas Stalking Advocacy Service, Change Grow Live, NSPCC, TechUK, the Employers Initiative on Domestic Abuse and the Law Society.

Commercially, the business operates a freemium service model: victims and referral partners access the platform at zero cost, with the company's revenue mechanics flowing primarily from UK civil legal aid case fees on the approximately nine in ten referred individuals who are eligible, supplemented by pro bono contributions from legal partners and grant or government funding tied to the Home Office What Works Fund evaluation. Pricing for victim-facing services is not publicly disclosed and is effectively zero, while the recurring revenue per case is determined externally by the Legal Aid Agency fee schedule.

Revenue model

1. Charitable Operations - Free Victim Services: The WEPROTECT referral service is provided free of charge to victims and referral partners. The organisation operates as a charity providing free services funded through alternative sources including government legal aid schemes and pro bono legal partner contributions.
2. Legal Aid Government Funding: Victims referred through WEPROTECT who are eligible for Legal Aid receive government funding to cover legal costs. Approximately nine out of ten individuals referred are eligible. The Legal Aid Agency determines eligibility and funding levels.
3. Pro Bono Legal Support: For individuals ineligible for legal aid and with no access to private funding, legal partners provide support pro bono at no cost to the victim. This applies when victims have significant equity but no practical access to capital.

Emerging players
