Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, for what reason national domestic violence helplines and not local services are promoted at covid-19 testing centres; and if he will review that policy to ensure that local services are also promoted.

All testing sites in England are being provided with materials developed through the national #YouAreNotAlone campaign to raise awareness of domestic abuse and support services. Alongside national communications materials, we recognise the benefit of signposting to local services. Testing sites are already displaying posters provided by local partners, alongside #YouAreNotAlone materials. Local partners should contact their Regional Safeguarding Leads, if they would like to display posters.
