Membership
Join Respect's membership programme and unlock a world of unique benefits!
Respect Membership
Respect is an organisation built around its members who share a common mission to end domestic abuse. Our members learn from each other, provide mutual support, and unite their voices with ours to influence government policy and create systemic change.
With our membership programme we aim to:
- Provide comprehensive, responsive, and flexible support to our members
- Strengthen our collective voice and influence
- Enhance the status of Respect-accredited members
Some of the expected outcomes of our membership programme:
- Members will have better access to resources, expanding their knowledge and skills, and improving their practice
- Meeting the needs of our members
- Having a perpetrator work sector with stronger, collective voice
Membership categories and eligibility
Categories
There are two organisational membership categories: Associate Member and Accredited Member.
- Associate Members are organisations who provide domestic abuse services which have not been accredited by Respect. It is also available to organisations who have a strong interest in ending domestic abuse.
- Accredited Members are organisations who provide domestic abuse services, some of which have been accredited by Respect.
Both Associate Member organisations and Accredited Member organisations can 'onboard' their employees on the membership, so that each employee can have their own membership account, linked to the organisation they work for, and access discounted training courses and other benefits.
The Individual Membership category we have offered until now is discontinued.

1. Be a minimum age of 16 years old at time of application.

Membership fees 2025
Membership fees are on a sliding scale, taking into account 3 factors:
- The income of the organisation
- The charity status of an organisation (registered charities are charged lower fees)
- The accreditation status of an organisation (Accredited Members are charged higher fees than Associate Members because they access more benefits)
