The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help small unitary authorities to access funding for domestic abuse perpetrator programmes.

Answered by Jess Phillips

For the current financial year (2025/26), the Home Office has awarded over £19 million to continue funding 27 Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) through the Domestic Abuse and Stalking Perpetrator Intervention Fund. This fund enables PCCs to commission domestic abuse and stalking interventions to suit the priorities and scale of their local area. PCCs work with local agencies and delivery partners to deliver a range of interventions which cover the full range of risk and harm.
