The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what timetable she has set to introduce domestic abuse experts in 999 control rooms.

Answered by Jess Phillips

From early this year, under a new approach named ‘Raneem’s Law’, domestic abuse specialists will begin to be embedded in 999 control rooms to advise on risk assessments, work with officers on the ground and ensure that victims are referred to appropriate support services swiftly. Exact timings will be confirmed in due course.
