Sue Robb of 4Children talks to Julie Laughton and Alison Britton from the Department for Education about the role of childminders in delivering the 30 hours free entitlement.
Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick has announced that the government will provide £16.6 million to 75 projects across England to help fund domestic abuse refuge services.
It is hoped that the funding for councils will help 43,000 survivors have access to the help they need as they move towards a safe future, free from domestic abuse. It will enable victims and their children to stay safe, recover from the trauma, and access safe permanent rehousing where needed.
Many councils are already providing tailored support to those in need, but this move will bring an end to the postcode lottery of support for those fleeing abusive relationships. The announcement follows the confirmation of a new legal duty which will create a consistent approach to accommodation-based support for domestic abuse victims across England.
Jenrick said: “Domestic abuse destroys lives and leaves victims living in fear in their own homes – the place where they should feel most safe and secure. No victim of domestic abuse should have to struggle to get the right support, or wait months for help that they need. This new funding of £16.6 million will help local areas better protect victims and their children and provide essential life-saving services, delivering the urgent support that they need to rebuild their lives.”
