The Coalition Government has made the tackling of violence against women and girls a high priority. Our approach is set out in our strategy, Call to End Violence Against Women and Girls, published in November 2010, together with
supporting Action Plans.
In 2010, this Government put stable funding in place for the first time, ring-fencing nearly £40 million for specialist local domestic and sexual violence support services, rape crisis centres, and national helplines. This
includes Home Office funding of £90,000 per annum in Sussex towards the provision of Independent Domestic Violence Advisers (IDVAs), Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conferences (MARACs) and an Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) in Brighton.
Through the Female Rape Support Fund 2014-16, the Ministry of Justice are also providing funding of £60,000 per annum to both The Survivors\u2019 Network and Lifecentre in Sussex to support female victims of rape or sexual violence. They
will also provide over £300,000 between 2014 \u2013 16 to create a new rape support centre in Crawley, dedicated to supporting female victims of rape and sexual violence.
We are also supporting effective local approaches to tackling violence against women and girls by providing Police and Crime Commissioners, local authorities and healthcare commissioners with the information they need. We have delivered
a series of six regional events around the country to support the effective local commissioning of violence against women and girls services, including an event held in Brighton this October.
The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Sussex has already provided £250,000 to East Sussex County Council, West Sussex County Council and Brighton and Hove City Council to enhance domestic and sexual violence services across
the county, invested in over 450 police body worn video cameras to gather real time evidence, launched the Brighton and Hove Domestic Abuse drop-in surgery \u2013 making services more accessible to those who need them, and driven work with
police and partners to develop an information sharing protocol to protect vulnerable girls from Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). In 2015 the PCC will be funding domestic abuse phones, with a direct 24-hour line to the police both inside and outside of their home with a GPS tracker.<\/p>
