Dear Mr Wiffen
Coventry City Council do
not directly deliver domestic violence perpetrator programs for male
victims but contract out this service to Coventry Relate. Coventry
Relate provide non mandated community perpetrator programmes for male
perpetrators and to-date have run one city-wide programme and are
due to commence another city-wide programme.
We do not have any domestic
violence perpetrator programs for female perpetrators of domestic
violence.
Coventry City Council are
not directly responsible for providing funding however support is
given through two of the partnerships in the City on which the local
authority are represented. Funding through these partnership arrangements
is as set out below:
Funds held by Community
Safety Partnership – allocation of £38,650
Funds held by Coventry
Domestic Violence and Abuse Partnership – allocation of £20,000
In relation to female perpetrators
of domestic violence, as indicated above, funding is not provided
by the Coventry City Council or through any partnership arrangements
they are party to.
Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Mortimer
Thank you for
your email requesting information under the Freedom of Information
Act 2000, which I received on 28 June 2006. Thank you for also confirming
by phone, on the 29 June 2006, that you defined males and females
as being over 18 years of age, and children as under 18 years of age.
You also define support groups that the Council funds indirectly,
as those who have one or two contracts with the Council. A further
thank you for extending the deadline to the close of Friday 4 August
2006. Your request has been considered under the Freedom of Information
Act 2000.
My reasonable
enquires to your request are listed below, and relate to the financial
year ending the 31 March 2006.
The following
are directly funded by the Councils, funding stream, "Supporting
People", and relate to women's domestic violence services, and
will also include circumstances where these women also have children.
The Council's "Supporting People" Contract and Review Officer
has provided the following information.
Coventry Haven
£240,771
Coventry Panahghar £254,960
Valley House £214,320
Coventry Syrenians £42,950
In addition there
are a number of organisations in the City funded by this Council,
who provide a range of support to individuals and families, however
the contracts are not specifically to provide domestic violence support
services. Nevertheless they may also be experiencing domestic violence
and abuse.
The Council's
Domestic Violence Co-ordinator collated the following information.
In relation to support for male victims the organisation "Victim
Support" provides support to all victims of crime, including
domestic violence, regardless of gender. Victim Support also leads
on a new project called 'Visual Evidence for Victims', which is accessible
by victims (male and female) of domestic violence and hate crime.
The Council contribute £10,525 to this project.
