<p>This Government is committed to transforming the response to domestic abuse and
on 8 March we launched a consultation seeking views on a range of options to ensure
victims are afforded the greatest possible protection and perpetrators are brought
to justice. The consultation outlined a range of legislative proposals for a landmark
Domestic Abuse Bill, together with a package of non-legislative measures.</p><p>As
we develop the proposals following feedback from the consultation, we are in regular
communication with other Government departments including the Department for Digital,
Culture, Media and Sport, using forums such as the Inter-Ministerial Group on Violence
against Women and Girls, in order to discuss how to transform the government’s response
to domestic abuse.</p><p>We plan to publish our consultation response and draft Domestic
Abuse Bill later this session.</p>
