for services for victims and survivors of sexual violence. This includes £7m funding
for victims of child sexual abuse (CSA). In Northumbria, MoJ is providing £265,870

to PCCs to locally commission or provide support services for victims of crime. The
grant to Northumbria PCC, including the CSA provision, was almost £1.7m.</p>
