From 24th August 2015 local authorities will be able to bid for a share of a £3m fund set up to support the victims of domestic abuse.
The fund is now inviting bids for work in 2015 to 2016, led by local authorities working in partnership with service providers.
The full information can be read on the Family Law news page and it details that ‘successful applicants must demonstrate how they will support innovative and cost-effective proposals to deliver accommodation-based services for victims of abuse, and for services to help them access such support. They should also set out how they will further the development of local strategies on tackling domestic abuse and help create sustainable and long-term approaches to providing support for victims.’
It is hoped that the fund will ‘address any gaps in the provision of specialist accommodation-based support, and to provide support for victims seeking to access these services.’
