Question
Will the Minister provide an update on progress of the regional Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence strategies?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Under section 6(2) of the Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (Wales) Act 2015, Local Authorities and Local Health Boards have an obligation to review their local strategies following local elections.
Regional partnerships have reviewed their strategies and are currently consulting on the revised versions. The VAWDASV National Advisors have provided feedback on initial drafts and will complete a review of the finalised strategies before providing advice to myself as Minister.
