Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the Domestic Abuse Commissioner has been included in contingency planning for vulnerable groups during the covid-19 outbreak.

We are working closely with the Domestic Abuse Commissioner and her office, as well as the domestic abuse sector, the police and local authorities on contingency planning and to understand the needs of victims of domestic abuse during self-isolation and social distancing, and how these can best be supported.
