Separated People: Domestic Abuse
Asked by: Richard Foord (Liberal Democrat - Honiton and Sidmouth) Friday 20th December 2024 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps the Government is taking to help tackle post-separation economic abuse. Answered by Jess Phillips - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office) I recognise the devastating impact financial and economic abuse can have on victims, even after they have separated from an abusive partner. We continue to work closely with and fund Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA), which supports victims of economic and financial abuse - offering specialist advice to victims via the Financial Support Line in partnership with Money Advice Plus, training financial services providers, and rolling out the Economic Abuse Evidence Form to ensure victims only have to tell their story once. We are committed to working across Government, and with stakeholders, to prevent economic abuse and improve our response to it when it does arise as part of the wider mission to halve VAWG within a decade. |
