Details

The national statement of expectations (NSE) sets out how local areas can commission effective services to ensure their response to crimes which disproportionately affect women and girls is as collaborative, robust and effective as it can be so that all victims and survivors can get the help they need.

The commissioning toolkit provides practical guidance for commissioners on how to effectively commission services to support anyone affected by violence against women and girls.
