Answer
The Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety, and the Department of Justice jointly lead on Domestic and Sexual Violence and Abuse.
OFMDFM has been advised that the Inter-Ministerial Group on Domestic and Sexual Violence (IMG) has met on five occasions since its inception in May 2008.
Between meetings IMG members have received written briefings and been updated both on the development of the new draft Strategy on Domestic and Sexual Violence and Abuse and on the outcome of the consultation on the Strategy.
It is anticipated that an IMG meeting will be arranged when the timetable for the publication of the new Strategy is fully confirmed.
