Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many domestic violence protection notices have been issued by each police force in each year since March 2014.

Domestic Violence Protection Notices (DVPNs) were rolled out across all 43 police forces in England Wales from 8 March 2014. Latest figures on DVPNs were published in March 2016, following the Home Office assessment of the pilot scheme. These figures show that 3,337 DVPNs were issued up to December 2014.

Figures on numbers of DVPNs issued by police forces have been added to the Annual Data Requirement and these are planned to be published in the coming year by the Office for National Statistics.
