It is working across Government, the voluntary sector and with local authorities to ensure that support to victims of terrorism is comprehensive, coordinated and clearly communicated.</p><p> </p><p>We have developed gov.uk webpages</p><p>(see <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/terror-attacks-support-for-people-affected" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/terror-attacks-support-for-people-affected</a>) to provide comprehensive advice to victims and to signpost them to support services in the UK. We have also been working closely with local authorities to highlight the support available, and will make sure that payments from the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund and the UK Solidarity Fund do not affect benefits payments.</p> answering member constituency Bracknell answering member printed Dr Phillip Lee question first answered 12/07/2017 15:03:05 answering member 3921 label Biography information for Dr Phillip Lee
