The Home Office does not collect information on police station closures.
It is for democratically elected Police and Crime Commissioners, working with Chief Constables, to determine the best use of resources to effectively serve and engage their communities and to build their trust and confidence.

In 2018/19 we increased funding in the policing system by £460 million, which includes £280 million going to forces through increased council tax precept flexibility. We have prioritised child sexual abuse as a national threat, one of only six such threats that require prioritisation by forces. This will facilitate prioritisation and planning of capabilities to tackle this terrible crime.
We have begun a step change in our approach to dealing with crimes against vulnerable children and people across the country and have invested significantly in a programme of reform to help the police to respond to changing crimes. This includes significant extra investment through the Police Transformation Fund (PTF) to transform policing in response to crimes against vulnerable individuals such as child sexual abuse.
In addition, we are investing an extra £21 million over the next 18 months to improve how our law enforcement agencies reduce the volume of offending and pursue the most dangerous and prolific offenders. This includes further funding of the Regional Organised Crime Units to target online grooming of children.

The Government is clear that we will not tolerate a practice that can cause extreme and lifelong suffering to women and girls.
Data on FGM includes a 2015 City University and Equality Now study, part funded by the Home Office, which estimated that 137,000 women and girls who had migrated to England and Wales were living with the consequences of FGM, and approximately 60,000 girls aged 0-14 were born in England and Wales to mothers who had undergone FGM. The study also provides a breakdown of FGM prevalence estimates by local authority area which is available online at http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/12382/.
In addition, NHS Digital publishes data on the prevalence of FGM within the NHS in England. The most recent quarterly statistics were published in September 2018. A detailed breakdown of these statistics, including by local authority and age, is available online at https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/female-genital-mutilation.
To improve understanding of the prevalence of so-called ‘Honour Based Violence’ including FGM, we amended the police Annual Data Requirement (ADR) to allow police forces the opportunity from April 2018 to record on a voluntary basis where a crime has been committed in the context of preserving the ‘honour’ of a family or community. This new voluntary collection is also capturing police recorded offences of FGM which were initially reported to the police under the duty.

We have created a Chief Caseworker Unit within UK Visas and Immigration and a ‘safety valve’ mechanism within Immigration Enforcement to bolster caseworking expertise and ensure that caseworkers have a clear escalation route where they have a concern or require specialist guidance. This is in addition to a number of new working process trials to help reduce the number of refusal decisions overturned at appeal.
