Dear Mr Wiffen,
Re. Freedom of
information request; Domestic Violence Perpetrators.
Stirling Council Criminal
Justice Service works in partnership with Falkirk Council, Clackmannan
Council and SACRO in running one groupwork programme for male perpetrators
of domestic violence.There is no groupwork programme for female perpetrators
as numbers would not sustain this. Criminal Justice workers work on
an individual basis with all types of male and female offenders.
The perpetrator programme
is not funded by Stirling Council but out of the total direct criminal
Justice grant from the Scottish Executive to the Forth Valley Grouping
of Council's Criminal Justice Services.
Within this amount is a
sum of non-core funding which we designate to purchase delivery of
groupwork services from SACRO.
The current sum for this
Service (for all groupwork services across the three councils) is
£120,000 per year. Of this around 15%-25% might be spent delivering
the Domestic Violence Programme, dependent upon the volume and nature
of domestic violence perpetrators placed under our supervision by
the courts in any given year.
The ratio of size and pro-rata
financial commitment between the three councils is 5-3-2, with Stirling
being the "3". That means that in principle, the quantity
of the Scottish Executive's money that Stirling Council will have
conducted into the Domestic Violence Programme, will be three tenths
of the total amount.
In other words, three tenths
of 15 to 25 percent of £12000.
This is £6000 to
£9000, though I emphasise this is not Council raised money but
a Scottish Executive Grant that we administer.
Regards
Tim Parkinson
Service Practice Manager
Stirling Council Criminal Justice Service
