●Inquiry recommendation, Recommendation 22
By September 2026, the Home Office, working closely with the Department for Education, the Ministry of Justice, and the Department of Health and Social Care, should increase and improve the information, support and programmes available to men and boys that create a culture of positive masculinity, to help prevent them from committing sexually motivated crimes against women in public spaces. This should include: a. implementing the recommendation from the 2025 Independent Pornography Review on school and community programmes for boys and young men; b. creating a comprehensive online space providing information to perpetrators and their families; c. increasing the availability of early interventions for individuals with concerns about their thoughts or behaviours; d. reviewing the availability and effectiveness of behaviour change programmes.

Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State Jess Phillips made a written statement to Parliament (HCWS1122) on 2 December 2025 accepting all 13 Part 2 recommendations. The government announced £13.1 million in funding to deliver a coordinated approach through the National Centre for Violence Against Women and Girls and Public Protection, and committed to putting police vetting standards on a statutory footing to exclude those with cautions or convictions for violence against women and girls offences. The government pledged to halve violence against women and girls within a decade and to embed expertise from programmes such as Operation Soteria and Project Vigilant across police forces.

How this page is built
Source and Response are verbatim from primary documents. The Evidence trail records published activity since — written statements, consultation outcomes, inspection findings, parliamentary references. The Index does not paraphrase or characterise intent; it tracks what has been published. Where the evidence is the absence of action (a missed deadline, a slipped timetable), that absence is documented from primary sources rather than inferred.
This recommendation's data is verified periodically against primary sources. The Index is monitored for staleness weekly.
