answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2018 answer text <p>The Government is absolutely committed to protecting all victims of domestic abuse. I note the recommendations regarding tackling Domestic Violence, Abuse and Femicide in the July 2018 Equalities and Human Rights Commission report, Pressing for Progress.</p><p>Since 2014, my Department has invested £33.5 million in services to support victims of domestic abuse, including refuges. In addition on 2 July we launched an £18.8 million fund for domestic abuse services, including refuges. This fund, which closed to applications on 28 August, was open to all local authorities across England to bid for a share. We will announce successful projects in due course.</p><p>My Department is also carrying out a review of how domestic abuse services are commissioned and funded locally across England. The review is being informed by an independent audit, run by Ipsos MORI, of provision of domestic abuse services across England, which is enabling us to understand what impact services are having and identify any gaps. We are working closely with other Departments, organisations within sector and local authorities, to develop future, sustainable delivery options for domestic abuse services, including refuges.</p><p>We are considering the needs of children in the review, and we have been clear that we expect local authorities to conduct robust needs assessments to meet the needs of all victims when commissioning domestic abuse services, including those presenting with children.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 19/09/2018 10:27:01 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2018 answer text <p>Domestic abuse is an abhorrent crime that nobody should have to suffer. The Government is committed to protecting victims of domestic abuse. In the 2015 Spending Review Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) secured £40 million for domestic abuse services, including refuges. From the £40 million, MHCLG has allocated the following amounts to local authorities through competitive funding rounds:</p><ul><li>£10 million across 2014-2016, including around £3 million in 2014-2015 and £7 million in 2015-2016, which helped 148 local authorities in England strengthen refuge provision for victims and offer support to women from outside their own area.</li><li>£3.5 million across 2015-2016 which supported 46 local authorities in England and their partners to deliver 710 new bed spaces in refuges and other types of safe accommodation for 3,798 victims of domestic abuse.</li><li>£20 million across 2016-2018, including around £3.5 million in 2016-2017 and £16.5 million in 2017-2018, which includes £1.1 million of top-up funding. The fund supported 80 projects across 258 local authorities in England, helping to create more than 2,000 bed spaces in refuges and other types of safe accommodation and giving support to over 19,000 victims and their families.</li></ul><p>On 2 July we launched a further £18.8 million fund for domestic abuse services, including refuge, to cover 2018-2020. The fund was open to all local authorities across England to bid for a share, and we will be announcing the successful projects in due course.</p><p>Additionally, since 2015 MHCLG have provided almost £889,000 to Women’s Aid for two projects, Routes to Support and No Woman Turned Away. Routes to Support (formerly UK Refuges Online) is part-funded by the Government and is a UK-wide online database containing information about domestic abuse and other violence against women services, including refuge. No Woman Turned Away provides additional caseworker support to women facing difficulties in accessing refuge. We are continuing to fund these vital projects in 2018/19.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 13/09/2018 14:58:49 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>The death of any rough sleeper is a tragedy. That is why we said in the Rough Sleeping Strategy we are working to ensure that Safeguarding Adult Reviews are conducted when a person who sleeps rough dies or is seriously harmed as a result of abuse or neglect, whether known or suspected, and there is concern that partner agencies could have worked more effectively to protect the adult. We will consider how lessons learned from these reviews will inform improvements to local systems and services.</p><p>The Rough Sleeping Strategy was published on 13 August 2018. This strategy sets out our long-term vision for how all parts of Government, both centrally and at the local level, will work together to ensure that no one has to sleep rough. This vision is based around three core pillars: prevent, intervene and recover – centred on a system of rapid rehousing.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 11/09/2018 16:12:50 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
