Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what training has been provided on domestic abuse to Job Centre Plus staff in the last two years.

All work coaches receive mandatory training developed and reviewed by domestic abuse partner organisations. Each site has access to their District Provision Toolkit which enables colleagues to support with complex needs. At a local level, Jobcentres have link and local agreements with a network of charities with whom we work in partnership to provide support for victims of domestic abuse.
