<p>As referenced in Section 2.2.2 of the Government’s Transforming the Response to Domestic Abuse: Consultation Response and Draft Bill, my department has carried out a full review of the funding and commissioning of domestic abuse services in England, available at; (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/domestic-abuse-consultation-response-and-draft-bill" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/domestic-abuse-consultation-response-and-draft-bill</a>). This has been informed by engagement with domestic abuse organisations and local authorities, as well as an audit, run by Ipsos MORI, of provision of domestic abuse services across England.</p><p>We continue to work with the Domestic Abuse Sector and local authorities, drawing on their expertise and data, as we develop future, sustainable delivery of support to victims of domestic abuse and their children in a range of safe accommodation based services.</p><p>I will be reporting on the outcomes of the review soon. Following our work with Ipsos MORI and academics to review the findings from the audit, a report will be published in due course.</p> |
