Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what funding is provided for police forces to enable them to serve domestic violence prevention orders; and if she will make a statement.
The costs of running Domestic Violence Protection Orders (DVPOs) are being met from local policing budgets. The DVPO model was extensively tested as part of a 15 month pilot in 2011-12. The pilot forces were able to operate DVPOs within established budgets during the last financial year.
