The Interpersonal Abuse Unit (IAU) is currently funding organisations which provide vital support for victims of VAWG crimes and their families, which includes economic abuse. As part of the Governments commitment to tackling violence against women and VAWG, we are seeking approval to directly award grant funding to Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA) for 36 months for the value of £500,000.00 (financial years 2022/23-2024/25) to provide specialist and expert advocacy to victims of economic abuse. This breaks down to a £100,000 uplift this financial year and then an indicative £200,000 each year for 2023/24 and 2024/25: This delivers on a specific commitment within the Tackling Domestic Abuse Plan, to double funding for the response to economic abuse.

The Interpersonal Abuse Unit (IAU) is currently funding organisations which provide vital support for victims of VAWG crimes and their families. This grant will extend these services until we have completed a competition to ensure VFM and secure multi year funding to run alongside the 3 yr SR.We are seeking approval to ensure that key services for the successful implementation of the Home Office VAWG and DA Strategies (henceforth referred to as the Strategies) is not dropped whilst an associated competition is run. The key service covered by this business case is the specialised by and for services to support victims of VAWG and in particular victims with greater vulnerabilities. We propose this to be delivered by directly funding of 9 organisations for 8 months with a 2 month break clause by which point a competition would have been run; with the break clause allowing us to move more quickly should we be able to expedite the competition.

SEA/MAP have identified the problem that people don't know what economic abuse is, or that help is available. There is a lack of knowledge and support and some of the generic advice available does not take safety into account. SEA have already created a screening tool to identify economic abuse. They want to transform this into a digital tool that will analyse responses and direct people to the resources they need and which are tailored to their situation. This will provide safe and up to date information to survivors of economic abuse as well as to professionals supporting them. It will also be found easily, even when the person does not know what they are experiencing is economic abuse.
