Peter and Belinda Bates run The Pete Bates Project — a platform focused on pattern recognition, coercive control education, and practical tools that help people recognise dangerous behaviour before harm escalates.
Featured Resources
Practical digital tools and guides designed to help people recognise dangerous patterns earlier, respond with more clarity, and interrupt harm before it escalates.
Before the Bruise
A direct guide to the early signs of control, confusion, and self-doubt before abuse becomes obvious.
Ten Red Flags You’re Living With a Dangerous Man
A free field guide to the behavioural warning signs that often appear before harm becomes visible.
Breaking the Cycle
A practical manual for men who want to stop passing pain, instability, and destructive patterns into their home.
Early Intervention System
A pattern-recognition toolkit for parents who know something has shifted and need structure to act early.
#SaveOurWomen — Early Warning Signs Week
Launching 1 May. A focused awareness campaign helping women and the wider public recognise dangerous patterns before significant harm occurs.
This campaign is built around one core truth: danger usually does not start where people think it starts.
It often begins with confusion, escalation, testing, and control that gets minimised until the harm becomes undeniable.
Recognising danger earlier can change lives.
