	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/12/2022 answer text <p>‘Enough’ is the UK Government's landmark campaign to tackle violence against women and girls. It is one of the key commitments in the government’s Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy and uses a range of communications channels to help deliver a generational shift in attitudes and behaviours.</p><p> </p><p>The campaign comprises three strands:</p><ol><li>Challenging perpetrators – to ensure bystanders know how to challenge abuse when they see it, as well as increasing the unacceptability of VAWG behaviours;</li><li>Educating young people – to establish healthy attitudes and behaviours around VAWG; and</li><li>Supporting victims – to ensure they know how and where to access support and, where appropriate, to report their experiences.</li></ol><p> </p><p>‘Enough’ was developed in close consultation with over 40 organisations and academics working on this issue. Results from the first phase of campaign activity demonstrated strong progress towards achieving the campaign’s ambitions. A significant number of campaign recognisers said they took action as a result of seeing the campaign, and the campaign is deepening people’s understanding of what constitutes abuse and how to take action safely if they witness VAWG. The campaign website has driven over 2,000 interactions with support services and assisted people to report abuse to the police.</p><p> </p><p>The campaign receives high levels of public and private sector support from police forces, local councils, VAWG sector organisations, and national businesses including Uber, Tesco, Mitchells &amp; Butlers pubs, Fitness First and the English Football League.</p><p> </p><p>From the Enough campaign website’s launch on 1 March 2022 to 30 November, analytics indicate there have been over 133,000 sessions on the site.</p><p> </p><p>The campaign has had paid marketing activity live in March 2022, October, November and December 2022. In March 2022, 65% of traffic was driven directly from paid activity and 35% was organic. During October (when paid activity was re-launched on 26th) paid activity drove 59% of traffic and organic drove 41%. In November, 67% of traffic was driven directly by paid activity and 33% was organic. December statistics are not yet consolidated.</p><p> </p><p>However, these figures only capture the individuals who have actively consented to cookies, meaning they are only indicative of the total figure. It is probable the number is significantly higher and the split between organic and paid could be different.</p> answering member constituency Derbyshire Dales answering member printed Miss Sarah Dines question first answered 22/12/2022 16:12:17 answering member 4816 label Biography information for Miss Sarah Dines previous answer version 40828 answering member constituency Derbyshire Dales answering member printed Miss Sarah Dines answering member 4816 label Biography information for Miss Sarah Dines

The Home Office does not hold information on how many reports have resulted in action. Addressing concerns reported via the tool is an operational matter for the Police and other agencies, such as Local Authorities.</p><p>StreetSafe has been developed in cooperation with the Home Office and the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC). It is managed by the NPCC Digital Public Contact Programme, funded by the Home Office. I can confirm that enhancing StreetSafe to enable reporting of public transport/infrastructure is being considered by policing as a high priority item and timescales will be agreed with the Home Office as part of the Programme’s Grant funding process for 2023/24.</p> answering member constituency Derbyshire Dales answering member printed Miss Sarah Dines grouped question UIN 99957 question first answered 22/12/2022 14:40:06 answering member 4816 label Biography information for Miss Sarah Dines previous answer version 40825 answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp answering member 4503
