* The Ministry of Justice provided total funding of £2.1m in 2010-11 for sexual violence and domestic violence support services.
In March this year we increased the central funding available to these services by 10% - up to £8m per year and made a commitment of £24m over three years.
The Ministry of Justice also allocates around £68 million a year to Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) to locally commission or provide support services for victims of crime, including victims of sexual violence. £4.7m of this is ringfenced for spend on victims of child sexual abuse. In 2017/18, PCCs reported spending £15.9m on supporting victims of sexual violence. £8.4m of this was from the MoJ grant and £7.5m from other funding sources.
