	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/08/2015 answer text <p>The Government allocated almost £40 million to specialist support services and national helplines to tackle violence against women and girls over the course of the previous Parliament.</p><p>In recognition of the fact that organisations providing specialised support services to victims and child sexual abuse are experiencing increased demand on their services, the Home Office and Ministry of Justice announced an additional £7 million for services supporting survivors of sexual violence in 2014/15 and 2015/16.</p><p>£2.15 million of that £7 million was provided as extra funding to 84 existing Rape Support Centres. The remainder was used to establish a £2 million Child Abuse Inquiry Support Fund to non-statutory organisations who are reporting an increase in demand as a direct result of the announcement of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. A further £2.85 million was used to establish a Child and Adult Victims of Sexual Abuse Support Fund for non-statutory organisations providing support across England and Wales to help meet the increased demand on those their services.</p><p>The administration of these funds, and final decisions on allocation, have been led by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk, with the close support of the Home Office. The assessment criteria for both funds are available on the website of the Norfolk Police and Crime Commissioner (http://www.norfolk-pcc.gov.uk/spend/commissioning/sexual-abuse-victims-fund/apply-for-sexual-abuse-victim-support-funding). Details of the 77 successful applicants were published on the website of the Norfolk Police and Crime Commissioner on 27 March.
