WQ.32/2022
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOME AFFAIRS BY THE CONNÉTABLE OF ST. MARTIN
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 31st JANUARY 2022 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 7th FEBRUARY 2022
Question
“Will the Minister outline details of the funding provided to the States of Jersey Police to prevent and respond to stalking in Jersey; and will he advise what considerations, if any, have been given to increasing the funding following the debate on the proposed ‘Gracie’s Law’ in the United Kingdom?”
Answer
Whilst there is no specific funding provided to the States of Jersey Police to prevent and respond to stalking it is of course part of the core role of any police officer to deal with these offences.
Funding is, however, provided to Jersey Domestic Abuse Service (JDAS), which is an arms-length service that, sits under the States of Jersey Police. This funding is part of wider funding given by the Government to protect victims of domestic abuse. JDAS delivers tailored support to individuals and families who are experiencing stalking and stalking related behaviours and includes specific safety planning and practical and emotional support that seeks to enhance quality of life by reducing risk and addressing unmet needs.
