uin	189891
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2023 answer text <p>This Government is committed to protecting all victims and tackling domestic abuse and violent crime.</p><p>To gain protection from domestic abuse, police can apply for a Domestic Violence Protection Order, victims can apply for a Non-Molestation Order and criminal courts can impose a Restraining Order on acquittal or conviction of a criminal offence. In cases of violent crime, police forces can apply to the court for a Criminal Behaviour Order, Gang Injunction, or Knife Crime Prevention Order which can also impose exclusion zones. Additionally, in community sentences, the court can impose electronically monitored exclusion zones. Responding to breaches is an operational matter for the police to decide upon.</p><p> </p><p>The introduction of the new Domestic Abuse Protection Notice and Order, will help to strengthen the evidence base for pursuing and prosecuting breach of an exclusion zone in cases of domestic abuse. The new order will be piloted from next year in Gwent, Greater Manchester, the London Boroughs of Croydon, Sutton, and Bromley, and the British Transport Police (Domestic abusers face crackdown in raft of new measures - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)).</p><p>For offenders on licence, breach of exclusion zones could result in recall by probation and arrest and return to custody by the police. Later this year, the Ministry of Justice will begin a project to test the effectiveness of electronic monitoring of additional licence conditions, including exclusion zones, for domestic abuse perpetrators released on licence.</p> answering member constituency Derbyshire Dales answering member printed Miss Sarah Dines question first answered 21/06/2023 08:49:12 answering member 4816 label Biography information for Miss Sarah Dines

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2023 answer text <p>This Government is determined to crack down on the county lines gangs who are exploiting our children and have a devastating impact on our communities. This is why, through the 10-year Drug Strategy, we are bolstering our County Lines Programme, investing up to £145m over three years.</p><p>We are aware that the roads network is used to transport offenders, victims, drugs, cash and weapons. That is why, in FY21/22, we provided dedicated funding for roads policing operations in the top three County Lines exporting police forces, Metropolitan Police Service, Merseyside Police and West Midlands Police, with the aim of enhancing roads policing activity to tackle county lines.</p><p> </p><p>The impact of our investment is monitored through the County Lines Task &amp; Finish Group, which oversees delivery of the County Lines Programme. Since launching in 2019, policing activity funded by the Programme has resulted in over 3,500 lines closed, 10,000 arrests, and 5,700 safeguarding referrals. Through the Programme, forces are implementing operational best practice, including lessons learned from the County Lines Roads Policing Operations Grant activity.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 21/06/2023 09:07:59 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

This grant contributes towards the cost of resettlement and integration for those being resettled and relocated under those schemes.</p><p>These funding arrangements are kept under regular review, including consideration of the integration outcomes being achieved for refugees using the available funding.

These funding instructions set out the conditions under which the funding is disbursed, the outcomes required and the processes to be followed to claim funds. They also provide more detailed definitions of eligibility.</p><p>These funding instructions also outline how the provision of support is to be evaluated and monitored. Both the 2022/23 and 2023/24 hotel wraparound support funding instructions make clear that local authorities themselves should manage and administer the quality and level of delivery in relation to the support it provides to Beneficiaries under the Afghan Schemes in hotels and temporary accommodation.</p><p>As part of this monitoring and evaluation process, the Home Office will shortly be writing to all local authorities who provided bridging accommodation under the Afghan Schemes over the course of the last financial year to ask them to provide a high-level overview of how the funding has been used to support the statement of outcomes, as outlined in the funding instructions. This will be used internally to review the effectiveness of the scheme; it will not be published but will be used as part of a wider assurance and lessons learnt piece.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 21/06/2023 13:16:21 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
