I welcome this vitally important Government strategy for tackling violence against women and girls.
ALT the cross-government strategy to build a safer society for women and girls
ALT the three key themes
1. prevention and early intervention
2. relentless pursuit of perpetrators
3. support for victims and survivors to live free from abuse
ALT prevention and early intervention
1, support educators to challenge misogyny and teach young people about healthy relationships
2. act decisively to safeguarding young people from abuse including rapidly-evolving online harms
3. make sure that no child should have their future determined by being a victim of violence and abuse
ALT relentless pursuit of perpetrators
1, Embed public protection as a specialism within policing and ensure police treat VAWG as a top priority with the seriousness it deserves.
2. Use cutting-edge technology to prevent and detect abuse and close the gap between perpetration and enforcement.
3. Manage perpetrators, both in and outside the Criminal Justice System, to ensure perpetrators do not operate with impunity.
ALT Support for victims and survivors to live free from abuse
1, Reform support for survivors and victims to address the fragmented system we have in place.
2. Ensure that all of government holds responsibility for supporting survivors and victims to recover and live free from abuse.
3. Embed a trauma-informed approach to the violence against women and girls response across the justice system.
ALT A Whole of Society Approach
all of the steps that are being taken are underpinned by investment and a commitment to long term societal changes for every part of our communities.
Violence against women and girls must become a mainstream responsibility of every institution that interacts with people and that is what this strategy does.

Our landmark Planning and Infrastructure Bill has just received Royal Assent - that means it is now an Act of Parliament and the law.
Through the measures in this Act we will speed up and streamline the delivery of new homes and critical infrastructure.
