The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to ensure programmes intended to reduce coercive control are trauma-informed.

Answered by Jess Phillips

The Home Office and Ministry of Justice fund a wide range of organisations to provide support to victims and survivors of Coercive and Controlling Behaviour and Domestic Abuse, including providing £2.5 million in 24/25 funding to Standing Together Against Domestic Abuse for domestic abuse interventions in health settings, including support for those who have experienced CCB.

We will use every lever available to Government to halve violence against women and girls in the next decade, in the Home Office, across the whole of government, with policing and other experts, such as NHS England.
