Recommendation 15

In the long term, funding for prevention is vital if the Government’s target of halving VAWG in a decade has a chance of being met. Currently there is insufficient funding of prevention programmes, in part because of the difficulties in measuring impact. This difficulty should not be a barrier to funding prevention programmes; the Home Office needs to find a way of supporting interventions that will be most effective in the long term even within a system that is geared towards the short term. (Conclusion, Paragraph 41)
