<p>Setting and monitoring pre-charge bail conditions is a matter for policing and
the Home Office does not collect data on how this is achieved. This data may be held
at force level.</p><p>Where a suspect breaches their conditions, the police may arrest
this individual, hold them in custody and charge them with a separate offence or progress
their original case. The 2020 bail reforms introduced a 3 hour pause on the custody
clock to ensure that arrests for breach of bail do not have a negative impact on the
overall case.</p><p>The Home Office have recently funded the development of a new
module of the ‘Domestic Abuse Matters’ training for police, developed by the College
of Policing and the sector. The new module of police training is targeted specifically
at officers investigating domestic abuse offences to enable further improvement in
police responses to domestic abuse incidents.</p>
