answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2023 answer text <p>The Victims Funding Strategy sets out a framework to improve the alignment and coordination of the Government’s commissioning of victim support services to enable all victims to receive the support they need. The strategy introduced national commissioning standards, which will encourage an expected level of service for victims. It also introduced core metrics and outcomes to be collected on all government funding, to ensure we are building a comprehensive evidence base that will allow us to generate a much clearer picture of the needs and experiences of victims using support.</p><p> </p><p>The strategy will be overseen by a cross-government board, which will bring together government departments and key stakeholders in this space to monitor implementation. As part of the strategy, we also committed to reviewing and refreshing existing UK government commissioning guidance for commissioners of local support services. Part of this will include looking specifically at the commissioning of services for children and young people as victims of crime.</p><p> </p><p>The Victims and Prisoners Bill aims to improve the support offered to children and young people. Child victims are covered by the definition of a victim in the Bill, as they are in the current Victims Code.</p><p> </p><p>To drive forward better strategic multiagency collaboration on commissioning for victim support services, the Bill will place a duty on Police and Crime Commissioners, local authorities, and Intergrated Care Boards to collaborate on support services for child and adult victims of sexual abuse, domestic abuse, and other serious violent crime.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 10/07/2023 11:10:47 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2023 answer text <p>The Government recognises that funding for victim support provision is crucial for victims to build resilience and move forward with daily life. This is very important for victims of domestic abuse and sexual abuse as these are particularly traumatic crimes with a high number of victims each year.</p><p>To better support victims and meet demand we are more than quadrupling funding for victim services by 2024/25, up from £41 million in 2009/10. This includes an additional £6.6 million on a multi-year basis throughout this Spending Review, for services supporting victims of sexual violence and domestic abuse, including children.</p><p>The Victims and Prisoners Bill is a key opportunity to strengthen, through legislation, funding structures to make the best use of resources. Support for victims of domestic abuse and sexual abuse are commissioned by a range of bodies in a variety of settings. To improve existing service provision the duty to collaborate requires Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs), Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), and local authorities to collaborate on services for domestic abuse, sexual abuse, and other serious violent crime. It will drive forward more effective and targeted strategic multi-agency collaboration.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 10/07/2023 11:12:17 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
