Issue details

Domestic Violence and Abuse Funding

This report updates the Cabinet on funding arrangements for Domestic Violence and Abuse (DVA) services from the end of 2019-20. DVA support services in B&NES provide a comprehensive range of provision for survivors with a small targeted service for perpetrators. Core DVA services are currently funded from a range of sources including grants and charitable donations. However these are mostly time limited and the majority of this funding will come to an end in April 2020.
This places a growth pressure on budgets if we are to ensure the continuation and sustainability of these key services. The report sets out details of these funding issues with recommendations for consideration by Cabinet to provide for continuity of service.

 

This item will be dealt with as part of the overall approach to medium term financial planning.
