The most recent six-monthly Progress Report is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/end-to-end-rape-review-progress-report" target="_blank">End to End Rape Review Progress Report - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</a></p><p> </p><p>Our progress on implementing the End-to-End Rape Review Action Plan includes:</p><ul><li><p>We are more than quadrupling funding for victim and witness support services by 2024/5, up from £41m in 2009/10.</p></li><li><p>As of September 2022, we have fully rolled out pre-recorded cross examination (Section 28) for victims of sexual and modern slavery offences in all Crown Courts across England and Wales. This is being used in over 150 cases per month.</p></li><li><p>In December we launched a new 24/7 support line for victims of rape and sexual abuse, meaning every victim can now access free, confidential emotional support whenever and wherever they need it.</p></li><li><p>The police and Crown Prosecution Service are rolling out a new investigatory model for rape, which focuses on the suspect’s – rather than the victim’s – behaviour, called Operation Soteria.

The latest data shows that we are on track to meet each of these ambitions ahead of schedule:</p><ul><li><p>In October- December 2022, there were 1,079 total police referrals, more than double the 2019 quarterly average (461) and up by 41% compared to the 2016 quarterly average (766). Over the last quarter, total police referrals went up by 8% (999 to 1,079).</p></li><li><p>In October – December 2022 we recorded 472 CPS charges, nearly double the 2019 quarterly average (244), 12% below the 2016 quarterly average (538). Over the last quarter CPS charges remained stable (slight fall from 473 to 472).</p></li><li><p>In October - December 2022 we recorded 509 Crown Court receipts, more than double the 2019 quarterly average (231), 8% below the ambition of 553 per quarter. Over the last quarter, Crown Court receipts increased by 8% (from 473 to 509).</p></li></ul> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 17/05/2023 14:55:23 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

We know that connected communities that provide people with opportunities to develop strong social relationships are an important part of delivering those ambitions.</p><p>In addition, social prescribing is a key component of the National Health Service Universal Personalised Care and is a way for general practitioners or local agencies to refer people to a link worker. Link workers connect people to community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support. Social prescribing can work well for those who are socially isolated or whose wellbeing is being impacted by non-medical issues.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 14/03/2023 17:00:31 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

We have reviewed Greater Manchester’s proposals and identified a number of gaps in the evidence, meaning it is not yet possible to understand how the proposed approach will achieve compliance with NO2 limits in the shortest possible time.
