These services are intended to provide consistent, reliable pathways to help, reducing the risk of victims falling through gaps in the system.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the reforms, the government will also roll out <strong>trauma-informed care for children<\/strong>, recognizing the long-term impact that violence and abuse can have on young people. The approach will focus on early intervention, safeguarding mental health, and supporting recovery in a way that acknowledges the psychological effects of trauma.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Minister Starmer emphasized that the measures are designed to ensure victims and survivors receive <strong>specialist care they can trust<\/strong>, while also improving coordination between health services, social care, and the criminal justice system. He said the government is committed to tackling violence at its roots, holding perpetrators to account, and rebuilding confidence in public services for those affected.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement signals a significant shift in national policy, placing the fight against violence towards women and girls at the center of the government\u2019s public safety and social justice agenda. The new measures are expected to be implemented nationwide, marking a major step toward improving protection, prevention, and long-term support for victims and survivors across the UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UK Declares Violence Against Women and Girls a National Emergency, Announces Major Support Reforms.\u00a0 &nbsp;
