The Government’s VAWG National Statement of Expectations encourages service provision decisions to be taken, by commissioners, at a local level and driven by local need.</p><p>We have allocated £17 million of funding to establish the 3-year VAWG Service Transformation Fund, which is supporting projects across 41 areas in England and Wales to support, promote and embed the best local practice and drive major change across all services so that early intervention and prevention, not crisis response, is the norm.</p><p>Liverpool City Council is being supported by the VAWG Transformation Fund to deliver the ‘Liverpool Early Help for Victims of VAWG’ project. We have awarded over £400,000 to support the Council to deliver a complex needs perpetrator programme, ‘Inner Strength’, and create Early Help Hubs to improve the multi-agency response to victims of domestic abuse.</p><p>The Home Office also supports the national VAWG Helplines and recently committed funding of up to £1.1m per annum for these services until 2021. The Helplines provide essential advice and support to victims of violence and abuse; advice to friends and family who are worried about someone; guidance to those wishing to stop perpetrating abuse; as well as assisting professionals seeking specialist support for victims.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 03/12/2018 17:26:00 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
