Safeline
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if she will make it her policy to provide funding for the Safeline counselling service for male survivors of sexual abuse after March 2025.
Answered by Alex Davies-Jones
The Ministry of Justice’s Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Fund (RASASF) was recommissioned in 2023, under Government Commercial Function processes. Grant awards were made to successful applicants following an open competition. Grant amounts were dependent on the population formula amount allocated to the Police and Crime Commissioner area, and the application score. On 2 December 2024, I confirmed to RASASF grant recipients, including Safeline, that grant awards would be maintained through 2025-26 at 2024-25 levels.
