<p>Last year we committed to working with domestic violence support groups and legal
representative bodies to review the domestic violence evidence requirements for legal
aid in private family cases. This review is now coming to end, and we recognise the
need for improvements to the system.</p><p> </p><p>We have already announced our intention
to completely remove the time limit on all forms of evidence, and to broaden the evidence
types to include, for instance, letters from domestic violence support organisations
and housing support officers. We will provide further details of the full extent of
our proposals shortly.</p>
