answer text <p>We continue to work with colleagues across government on this issue. The NHS Long Term Plan commits an additional £2.3 billion a year for mental health services in England by 2023/24 to allow a further two million people, including victims of domestic and sexual violence, to access National Health Service-funded mental health support.</p><p>NHS England commissions 48 sexual assault referral centres (SARCs), which are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to all victims and survivors of sexual violence and abuse. The Department is working with NHS England to support the integration of SARC services within the local sexual assault and abuse care pathway to ensure that the needs of survivors of sexual exploitation are addressed. We are also working with the Home Office, which is investing up to £7.5 million over three years to implement domestic abuse interventions in healthcare settings in England.</p> more like this

The Home Office does not hold information on how many reports have resulted in action.

answer text <p>‘Enough’ is the UK Government's landmark campaign to tackle violence against women and girls. It is one of the key commitments in the government’s Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy and uses a range of communications channels to help deliver a generational shift in attitudes and behaviours.</p><p> </p><p>The campaign comprises three strands:</p><ol><li>Challenging perpetrators – to ensure bystanders know how to challenge abuse when they see it, as well as increasing the unacceptability of VAWG behaviours;</li><li>Educating young people – to establish healthy attitudes and behaviours around VAWG; and</li><li>Supporting victims – to ensure they know how and where to access support and, where appropriate, to report their experiences.</li></ol><p> </p><p>‘Enough’ was developed in close consultation with over 40 organisations and academics working on this issue. Results from the first phase of campaign activity demonstrated strong progress towards achieving the campaign’s ambitions. A significant number of campaign recognisers said they took action as a result of seeing the campaign, and the campaign is deepening people’s understanding of what constitutes abuse and how to take action safely if they witness VAWG. The campaign website has driven over 2,000 interactions with support services and assisted people to report abuse to the police.</p><p> </p><p>The campaign receives high levels of public and private sector support from police forces, local councils, VAWG sector organisations, and national businesses including Uber, Tesco, Mitchells &amp; Butlers pubs, Fitness First and the English Football League.</p><p> </p><p>From the Enough campaign website’s launch on 1 March 2022 to 30 November, analytics indicate there have been over 133,000 sessions on the site.</p><p> </p><p>The campaign has had paid marketing activity live in March 2022, October, November and December 2022. In March 2022, 65% of traffic was driven directly from paid activity and 35% was organic. During October (when paid activity was re-launched on 26th) paid activity drove 59% of traffic and organic drove 41%. In November, 67% of traffic was driven directly by paid activity and 33% was organic. December statistics are not yet consolidated.</p><p> </p><p>However, these figures only capture the individuals who have actively consented to cookies, meaning they are only indicative of the total figure. It is probable the number is significantly higher and the split between organic and paid could be different.</p>

answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice has committed to ringfenced funding to increase the number of Independent Sexual and Domestic Violence Advisors (ISVAs/IDVAs) by 300 to over 1000 by 2024/25 - a 43% increase on the number of ISVAs and IDVAs over the next three years. This builds on the funding provided in 20/21 and 21/22 to recruit c700 ISVA and IDVA posts. We are distributing this ringfenced funding to Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) to recruit ISVAs and IDVAs in their local areas. Recruitment for the additional 300 posts commenced in May 2022, and we are currently working closely with PCCs to track progress of this recruitment. In addition to this funding, PCCs also have discretion to use core victim support grant funding for additional ISVAs and IDVAs, based on their assessment of local need.</p><p>The MoJ has information on ISVAs and IDVAs funded from 20/21, which is when the specific ringfenced funding was introduced.</p><p>In addition, the Department has committed to supporting ISVAs and IDVAs through measures published in the draft Victims Bill. The Bill will introduce a definition of IDVA and ISVA roles, a power for the Secretary of State to issue statutory guidance on these roles, and a duty on agencies and those who work with victims to have due regard to the guidance.</p>
