Monday 19th February 2024

Asked by: Liz Twist (Labour - Blaydon)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment he has made of the impact of extreme weather on the risk of intimate partner violence.

Answered by Chris Philp - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Home Office has not made any formal assessment on the impact of extreme weather on the risk of intimate partner violence.

The prevalence of domestic abuse has remained relatively stable over recent years, but there was a decline seen between the year ending March 2020, a year largely unaffected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and the most recent figure for the year ending March 2023.

The government are taking important steps to tackle intimate partner violence, including implementation of the Tackling VAWG Strategy, Tackling Domestic Abuse Plan and the Domestic Abuse Act 2021.
