MoJ provides the majority of its funding directly to services with a limited amount of funding going to bodies and local authorities for administration. Where we do make payments to local authorities for activities, such as grants to Youth Offending Teams, we do not consider these to be funding for programmes.

We do provide funding to bodies such as the Police and Crime Commissioners in England and Wales which cover a wide range of activities to support Victims Services such as Pre-Trial support and funding to Independent Sexual Violence and Domestic Abuse Advisors.

We are currently working through the departments financial budget allocations and therefore are not in a position to confirm plans for future spend.
