Lord Hanson of Flint (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 September 2025

Debate

Child Houses for Child Victims of Sexual Abuse

Contribution

One of the important issues that came out of the Victims and Prisoners Act 2024 was a duty to collaborate on this issue. That duty to collaborate is now law and will incentivise and promote joint working needed to ensure that we achieve that multi-agency model of support. My colleagues in the Ministry of Justice are consulting on the guidance on the duty to collaborate and there will be further announcements in due course, but that very co-operative approach is what is needed.
