The Ministry of Justice has announced a new Victims' Code that comes into force today.
Liz Thompson, Director of External Relations at SafeLives says:
This week at SafeLives we are heartsick.
We are delighted that the Government has agreed to consult on the provision of community-based domestic abuse services which we hope will lead to a new duty on public authorities.
Today the Ministry of Justice have announced that they are providing a £40million funding boost to specialist services supporting victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence.
Early in the pandemic our incredible group of Pioneer survivors put forward the idea of a code word to be used in the few shops allowed to open – supermarkets and pharmacies.
