answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>The Serious Violence Strategy Implementation Taskforce has recently been established, following the Prime Minister’s Serious Youth Violence Summit in April, to oversee and drive implementation of the Serious Violence Strategy.

Definitive funding allocations are not available due to the breadth of activity across Government. However, I can confirm that, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced in the Spring Statement on 13 March, there will be £100 million further funding in 2019/20 to tackle serious violence. £51 million of this funding has already been allocated to 18 police forces worst affected by serious violence to pay for a surge in operational activity, including increased patrols.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 02/05/2019 15:45:43 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

This is double the amount awarded in 2018/19. £5 million over three years has also been committed to providing security training to places of worship in England and Wales. This will enable staff and volunteers to develop the security understanding necessary to make physical security measures work effectively. This increase in funding marks a significant change in our funding for protective security for places of worship.</p><p><br>The Places of Worship Protective Security Funding Scheme has been running for three years, and we continuously listen to feedback. We are now working urgently to make commercial improvements to the 2019/20 scheme to make it more effective and easier for places of worship to apply. The application process for the scheme will go live in July 2019 with allocations being made thereafter.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 02/05/2019 15:44:44 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
