<p>This Government is committed to ensuring that all victims and survivors of domestic
abuse get the support they need, including those from Black backgrounds. We know that
domestic abuse affects a wide and disparate group and that a “one size fits all” approach
is not appropriate to support all victims, especially those with specific needs and
vulnerabilities, including ethnic minority victims.</p><p> </p><p>The College of Policing’s
Authorised Professional Practice on domestic abuse sets out that victims may have
specific needs or issues relating to their cultural background or immigration status
which should be considered when understanding risk and vulnerability of the victim.
The Government continues to encourage forces to take on the College of Policing’s
Domestic Abuse Matters training, which includes specific training on intersectionality
and the different impacts of domestic abuse on black and minority ethnicity communities.
This is part of their continued development, therefore, the Government does not feel
it necessary to mandate such training.</p>
