This is a request for information according to the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
It relates to real terms spending on domestic abuse support services.
Please can you provide the following information. Please note there are two parts to my request. I have attached a spreadsheet to support you with your response.
(1)
The total amount in £ spent on domestic abuse support services in your local authority between FY2019/20 and FY2023/24, broken down by financial year (for example, FY2019/20 = £20, FY2020/21 = £25 etc)
Domestic abuse support services can include, but are not limited to, funding for refuge provision, funding to charitable service providers, funding for helpline services.
(2)
The real terms percentage increase/decrease from the previous financial year.
If it is not possible to answer part two of my request, please confine your response to part one.
