Conduct local VAWG funding mapping and publish cross-government mapping with annual updates
Recommendation
We recommend that local authorities, police and crime commissioners and mayors conduct mapping exercises to identify where they allocate funding to tackle VAWG. We recommend that the Government publish alongside the VAWG strategy its cross-government mapping of where funding to tackle VAWG is being targeted, and provide annual updates. (Recommendation, Paragraph 18) Measuring outcomes of services
Government Response Summary
The government acknowledged difficulties with short-term funding and stated it is working through the details of future VAWG funding for 2026-2029, but it did not commit to any mapping exercises of VAWG funding at local or cross-government levels, nor to publishing such maps.

Deferred
We acknowledge the difficulties providers encounter when given short- term funding. Where possible, our aim is to provide longer-term grant agreements to improve certainty and enable recipients to plan. Following the Chancellor’s announcement on 11th June, we are continuing to work through the details of government funding for tackling VAWG over the Spending Review period of 2026–2029. The Home Secretary will make decisions across a range of Home Office priorities, including VAWG funding as part of our Departmental allocation process. The Departments will set out further details in due course.
