This includes an assessment of the need for gender-specific <br>services. <br><br>The Home Office has received representations from voluntary sector <br>organisations raising concerns about local commissioning of generic and <br>gender-neutral services for victims of domestic violence. The updated Violence <br>Against Women and Girls Action Plan, published on 8 March 2014, accordingly <br>makes supporting effective local approaches a priority area. The Plan sets out <br>clear commitments to:<br>• deliver a programme of regional engagement to support all local commissioners;<br>• establish a cross-Government task and finish group to drive good practice in <br>the commissioning of local services; and,<br>• part-fund a series of dedicated commissioning masterclasses to support the <br>women's sector to engage with the new commissioning landscape.<br><br>Progress on supporting effective local approaches to commissioning of services <br>will be monitored by the Inter-Ministerial Group on Violence Against Women and <br>Girls, chaired by the Home Secretary.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Norman Baker question first answered 28/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 28 label Biography information for Norman Baker previous answer version 4859 answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Norman Baker answering member 28 label Biography information for Norman Baker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The Coalition Government recognises that young people can be victims of <br>domestic violence and abuse both within the home and in their relationships. That is why in March <br>2013, we extended the definition of domestic violence and abuse to include 16 <br>and 17 year olds, and coercive control. Our aim in extending the definition is <br>to increase awareness that young people experience domestic violence and abuse, <br>encouraging more of them to come forward and access the support they need. In <br>March 2013, the Home Office also published a guide to assist local areas to <br>consider how the extension to the definition of domestic violence and abuse may <br>impact on their services and identify potential gaps and opportunities for <br>working with 16-17 year olds and how to respond to cases involving young <br>people. <br><br>The Coalition Government believes it is important to invite young people to <br>express their views and preferences about policies that are developed for them which is why <br>we have worked with the NSPCC to establish a Young People's Panel. The Panel <br>has met four times since its inception in 2012 and their discussions have fed <br>into policy development around young people and domestic violence. This <br>includes commenting on the guidance for local areas following the change in <br>definition, and reviewing aspects of our media campaigns.<br><br>The Home Office has also launched its Teenage Relationship Abuse and <br>Teenage Rape Prevention campaigns. The aims of the campaigns are to prevent <br>teenagers from becoming victims and perpetrators of abusive relationships. It <br>will encourage teenagers to re-think their views of violence, abuse or <br>controlling behaviour in relationships and direct them to places for help and <br>advice. The campaign is aimed at 13 to 18 year old boys in particular.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Norman Baker question first answered 08/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 28 label Biography information for Norman Baker previous answer version 4861 answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Norman Baker answering member 28 label Biography information for Norman Baker
