Up to £18m per year over two years is set to go towards the next phase of the Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Intervention Fund, the Home Office has announced.

The funding, which brings the intervention fund to a total of £36m, will enable police and crime commissioners (PCCs) to increase the availability of domestic abuse perpetrator intervention schemes in their areas.

Minister for safeguarding Sarah Dines said: ‘I am fully committed to tackling domestic abuse and protecting victims from suffering the lasting impacts of these horrific crimes.

‘Our vital Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Intervention Fund allows police forces to intervene early, and work with perpetrators to change their behaviour and reduce the risk they pose, in order to protect victims.’

The Home Office has also published seven standards which provide commissioners with the guidance they need to commission effective interventions with perpetrators.
