Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the Southall Black Sisters’ No Recourse to Public Funds project evaluation has been completed; and if so, whether a copy of that evaluation will be published.
Answered by Baroness Barran - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)
Southall Black Sisters was awarded funding of £250,000 in April 2018 and (in partnership with The Angelou Centre) £1,090,000 in April 2019 through the Tampon Tax Fund. It was used to fund the No Recourse to Public Funds Project, also referred to as the Recourse to Safety project.
Southall Black Sisters’ have commissioned an independent evaluation of the project which is currently ongoing. They have used their Tampon Tax grant to fund this. It will be Southall Black Sisters’ decision whether to publish their evaluation.
