answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>The Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy set out an ambitious programme to make tackling VAWG everybody’s business.</p><p>Over this spending review period, we are providing £100 million of dedicated funding to tackle VAWG. VAWG services are mainly commissioned at a local level by Police and Crime Commissioners, local authorities and health commissioners. The Government’s VAWG National Statement of Expectations encourages such decisions to be taken at a local level and driven by local need.</p><p>We created a £17 million 3-year VAWG Service Transformation Fund, which is funding projects across 41 areas in England and Wales to embed local best practice and ensure that early intervention and prevention, not crisis response, is the norm. Details of the funding are available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/violence-against-women-and-girls-service-transformation-fund-successful-bids-2017-to-2020</p><p>Through the Police Transformation Fund we are spending £5.8 million to support innovative projects to tackle domestic abuse. More details of the funding are available at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/police-transformation-fund-successful-bids-2017-to-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/police-transformation-fund-successful-bids-2017-to-2018</a></p><p>We have also announced an £8 million fund to support children affected by domestic abuse, which gives charities, local authorities and other organisations the chance to bid for money for projects designed to intervene early to help children who have been directly or indirectly affected by domestic abuse. We will announce successful bids shortly.</p><p>The Home Office also supports the national VAWG Helplines and recently committed funding of up to £1.1m per annum for these services until 2021.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 21/12/2018 10:10:49 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

uin	202877
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>The Government has ensured that, through the election of police and crime commissioners, communities, including those in rural areas, have a strong voice in determining how police resources are allocated to tackle the crimes that most matter to them. <br> <br>Moreover, we are committed to providing all police forces in England and Wales with the resources they need to do their crucial work. In 2018/19, total police funding increased by over £460 million, including Council Tax precept and funding for national priorities. The proposed funding settlement for 2019/20 enables total policing funding to increase by up to £970 million, including Council Tax precept and funding for national priorities such as counter-terrorism. This is sufficient for the police to both manage financial pressures and invest in key capabilities such as recruiting more detectives.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 21/12/2018 10:19:48 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
