answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/04/2016 answer text <p>The Government has introduced a new offence of coercive or controlling behaviour in an intimate or family relationship which came into force on 29 December 2015. The offence carries a maximum of 5 years imprisonment. Guidance for professionals on the new offence was issued on 5 December 2015.</p><p>The new offence will mean victims who experience coercive and controlling behaviour that stops short of serious physical violence, but amounts to extreme psychological and emotional abuse, can see their perpetrators brought to justice. Criminalising domestic abuse demonstrates this Government’s commitment to tackling all forms of abuse and improving the protection available to victims.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 13/04/2016 16:06:38 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2016 answer text <p>The previous Government provided £40 million of dedicated funding for domestic and sexual violence services between 2011 and 2015 equating to £10 million per year. This funding was extended until April 2016, supplemented by an additional £10 million for refuges, and a £3.5 million fund to boost the provision of domestic violence services including refuges. We do not hold figures for the amount of funding which is spent on supporting children in refuges. It is for local areas to make decisions on the provision of safe accommodation, including refuges, and the support for victims of domestic abuse and their families. On 8 March, as part of our new Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy, we announced £80 million of dedicated funding from 2016 to 2020 which includes support for refuges and other accommodation-based services, helping local areas ensure that victims of domestic violence and their children have the support they need.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 21/03/2016 14:21:02 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2016 answer text <p>The Government published a new Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy on 8 March and committed funding of £80 million between 2016 and 2020 to protect women and girls from violence. This increased funding will help to deliver our goal to work with local commissioners to deliver a secure future for rape support centres, refuges and FGM and Forced Marriage Units, whilst driving a major change across all services which promotes early intervention and prevention.</p><p>The Strategy identifies that some sectors of society can experience multiple forms of discrimination and disadvantage or additional barriers to accessing support. These include women and girls from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGB&amp;T) victims. The increased funding of £80 million, and our support for local areas to improve local commissioning, will help to ensure that the needs for LGBT and BME victims are met through specialist support.</p><p>The new Strategy also recognises that a sustainable approach to preventing abuse is dependent on changing the attitudes and behaviours of perpetrators. As part our renewed focus on early intervention and breaking the cycle of violence, the Government will work with local areas on changing the attitudes and behaviours of perpetrators, to make sure rehabilitation, mental health interventions and other appropriate perpetrator programmes are in place.</p><p>In recent years there has been a step change in the number of domestic abuse crimes recorded by the police. The new Strategy sets out that we will continue to drive a culture change in the police response to recognise domestic abuse as the serious crime that it is, and encourage more victims, including BME victims of domestic abuse, to report to the police. We will also ensure that women can seek help in a range of settings as they go about their daily lives and have easy access to community based support at the earliest opportunity.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley grouped question UIN 30480 30481 question first answered 15/03/2016 17:16:38 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
