Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether measures to (a) recognise and (b) support under-16s who perpetrate abuse towards their (i) parents, (ii) siblings and (iii) intimate partners will be included in the forthcoming Violence against women and girls strategy.

The upcoming Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy will outline the steps we are taking to respond to teenage relationship abuse and child to parent abuse.

The VAWG Strategy will underpin a transformative, cross-government approach to deliver on the Government's unprecedented ambition to halve VAWG in a decade.
