The Secretary of State for the Home Department, acting through the Asylum & Family Policy Unit within Borders, Immigration and Citizenship System (BICS) and Crime Police and Fire Group (CPFG), intends to make an amount up to £1,400,000 of grant funding ("Funding") available. The Funding is to provide a support net for migrant victims of domestic abuse who do not have recourse to public funds and do not qualify to access a bed space in a refuge or another means of safe accommodation. This will operate throughout the United Kingdom and the funding will be via a Grant Agreement from date of signature until 31 March 2022, but the Home Office will consider backdating eligible expenditure to 15 December 2020. The Funding is to be awarded through a fair, open and transparent competition by means of a Call for Proposals and will seek to provide protection and recovery for migrant victims of domestic abuse and their children. It will also aim to provide a positive impact for victims accessing safe accommodation when they are in need of emergency support to escape an abusive relationship. It will look to provide victims with a period of respite during which time they can get help to make decisions about how to secure the best outcome for their ongoing safety. The Scheme also aims to gather more information on the scale of the problem, and on which types of migrants it most significantly affects.
Outcomes
The objectives of the fund are to source a single Provider (who may engage Delivery Partners) to:
1. provide refuge or other means of safe accommodation throughout the UK to support and protect migrant victims of domestic abuse with no recourse to public funds and their children; and
2. support the gathering of data to help Government gain a better understanding of the diverse needs of the migrant population in need of support to inform future policy making.
Further information on the scheme, including the Prospectus, Instruction to Bidders and competition questions are available via the online portal, with details of how to register to then be linked to the event outlined below.
Bids will close at 10:00, on 08 February 2021.
