We also know that abuse can often leave victims economically dependent on abusers, creating financial insecurity that makes it harder for them to access safety. The Government is determined to tackle this form of abuse which is why for the first time in history, economic abuse is now recognised in law as part of the statutory definition of domestic abuse, included in the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 (the Act). In the Domestic Abuse (DA) Plan, we have doubled funding to a minimum of £200,000 to further support improving the response to economic abuse.</p><p>The DA Plan also highlights the importance of financial institutions signing up to UK Finance's Financial Abuse Code to support customers who are victims of economic abuse and encourages more institutions to do so. The Code sets out how participating banks and building societies should support customers who are victims of economic abuse, aims to increase awareness and provide understanding of what financial and economic abuse looks like and ensure consistency in the support available to help customers to understand and regain control of their finances.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies grouped question UIN 67985 question first answered 25/10/2022 15:13:20 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2022 answer text <p>We know that many victims of domestic abuse suffer from economic abuse and that this can be part of a pattern of controlling or coercive behaviour. Economic abuse can make the individual economically dependent on the abuser, and/or create economic instability, limiting the victims’ options to escape and access safety.</p><p>The draft updated Controlling or Coercive Behaviour Guidance, published April 2022, recognises the role of economic abuse within a pattern of controlling and coercive behaviour and has a dedicated section on economic abuse including examples of economic abuse, information on how to respond, guidance from the Financial Conduct Authority and signposting to relevant supporting services such as Surviving Economic Abuse.</p><p>The Domestic Abuse (DA) Statutory Guidance, published in July 2022, also covers economic abuse, and provides support to professionals on how to safeguard and support victims of domestic abuse. The DA Statutory Guidance is aimed at statutory and non-statutory bodies working with victims and perpetrators, including local authorities. Both pieces of guidance were subject to public consultations which were aimed at local authorities, among others, with local authority representatives also attending focus groups on the DA Statutory Guidance.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 25/10/2022 10:43:29 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
