Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 29 May 2018 to Question 146873, on victim support schemes, which other government departments have been (a) consulted on and (b) involved in his Department’s full review of domestic abuse services.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has consulted with a number of Government Departments which play a key role in domestic abuse and/or victims policy. We have worked with the Home Office, Ministry of Justice, Department for Health, Department for Education and the Government Equalities Office, all of which have been instrumental in helping us develop a robust and comprehensive audit. We also hope to work closely with Departments which have an extended interest in the review, such as the Department for Work and Pensions and HM Treasury, as we progress with this work.
