For 2022/23, we are providing £34 million of ringfenced funding for Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) to locally commission IDVAs and ISVAs. It is the responsibility of the PCCs to decide how to target recruitment of specialist IDVAs, including those that support elderly victims, based on their assessment of local need.</p><p>In addition, the Government is committed to further building capacity in specialist service provision and has launched a £6m Violence Against Women and Girls Support and Specialist Services Fund. The fund is led by the Home Office with a £3m contribution from MoJ for ‘by and for’ services, open to both national and local organisations. ‘By and for’ services are specialist services that are led, designed, and delivered by and for the users and communities they aim to serve. One of the fund’s ambitions is to increase the number of ‘by and for’ IDVAs and ISVAs.</p><p>The MoJ continually reviews the most effective mechanism for allocating funding for IDVAs and ISVAs.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar grouped question UIN 137987 137988 question first answered 09/02/2023 13:40:11 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
