The NSE states that local areas must put the victim at the centre, and have sufficient local specialist support provision, including provision designed specifically to support BME victims, as well as that commissioners should work with local specialist partners, and map out local women’s support groups, including those led by and for BME women.

The Service Transformation Fund is funding 41 projects, of which over £6m is being provided across 14 projects that include specific BME provision. In addition, the Home Office has provided £100k to IMKAAN to help the capability and capacity of BME service providers, and over £2m has been provided through the Tampon Tax to projects that specifically fund specific BME focussed provision.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins grouped question UIN 121941 121942 121943 question first answered 19/01/2018 14:34:59 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
