<p>The Government is committed to do everything in its power to deliver improvements
within policing and across the criminal justice system to improve women and girl’s
confidence in the police and ultimately keep people safe. This includes the establishment
of the Angiolini Inquiry which will shine a light on the failings that allowed a serving
police officer to abuse his power in such a horrific manner and make recommendations
for change within policing.</p><p>We have published a new Tackling Violence Against
Women and Girls Strategy, which outlines our plans for a national communications campaign
with a focus on targeting perpetrators and harmful misogynistic attitudes, educating
young people about healthy relationships and ensuring victims can access support.</p><p>We
are also funding a National Policing Lead for Violence Against Women and Girls – Maggie
Blyth. The HMICFRS inspection into the police response to VAWG crimes has shown that
radical reform is needed. The role will include working with police forces and the
Government to make sure action is taken in response to the inspectorate’s findings.</p><p>The
Government will also be looking carefully at strengthening the system of local community
scrutiny and the value and use of body-worn video, because transparency is vital.</p>
