Dear Michael Wiffen

You requested information about how many domestic violence perpetrator programs their are in Edinburgh City Council for:-

(A) Male perpetrators of domestic violence?

There are two male perpetrator programmes (Domestic Violence Probation Project and Working with Men) run under the auspices of the CEC.

DVPP is a court mandated project (IE the men have to be convicted of a DV offence and placed on probation).

WWM is non-court mandated (i.e. the men can self refer or be referred by a
variety of agencies).

(B) Female perpetrators of domestic violence?

There are none for women perpetrators.

(C) You also requested to know how much funding is provided by Edinburgh City Council to provide each service?

The domestic violence probation project is funded by a Scottish Executive Justice Department grant of £208,000 paid to City of Edinburgh Council and Midlothian Council as part of the overall funding for Criminal Justice social work (Probation) services in Lothian and Borders.

The Working with Men project receives £50,000 /per year for this year and next from the Scottish Executive and the City of Edinburgh Council Children and families department provides in kind funding in terms of supervision, accommodation, telephones etc.

Yours sincerely,

Douglas Stephen
Department of Health & Social Care
