Violence Against Women and Girls Services Commissioning Toolkit Guidance on commissioning local services to support victims and survivors of violence against women and girls.  April 2022 update.

This toolkit provides advice to demonstrate how commissioning services to tackle violence against women and girls (VAWG) can be done effectively. It will be useful for all commissioners as a practical guide to commissioning VAWG services as well as service providers, to provide an understanding of how to meet commissioners’ needs.

The purpose of the toolkit is to ensure that professionals can work together to provide an effective commissioning approach for services to support to anyone affected by any form of VAWG.

The findings from the Violence Against Women and Girls Call for Evidence have been used to inform this update with contributions from those who bravely shared their personal experiences, service providers, commissioners and voluntary and community sector organisations who have contributed and provided examples of where improvements could be achieved.
