answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2022 answer text <p>Tackling domestic abuse is a priority for this Government. A key part of this is making sure victims and survivors get the support they need.</p><p>The Tackling Domestic Abuse Plan, which we published in March, invests over £230 million, including over £140 million specifically for supporting victims and survivors.</p><p>In the Plan, my department has also doubled funding for the National Domestic Abuse Helpline. And alongside the Ministry of Justice, a commitment was made to provide multi-year funding for support services. This will offer more stability and consistency for service users, as services will not be dependent on yearly grants. This will help ensure high-quality support is available throughout any increases in the cost of living.</p><p>And through the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, economic abuse is now recognised in law as being part of the statutory definition of domestic abuse. Between 2018-2022, the Government has provided £567,000 to Surviving Economic Abuse, an organisation that raises awareness of economic abuse and which supports victims and survivors of this pernicious form of domestic abuse.</p> answering member constituency Derbyshire Dales answering member printed Miss Sarah Dines question first answered 08/11/2022 13:58:54 answering member 4816 label Biography information for Miss Sarah Dines
