11 The Connétable of St. Martin of the Minister for Home Affairs regarding the
Taskforce on Gender-Based Violence (OQ.25/2023)
Further to Written Question 163/2022, where the Minister confirmed that the Taskforce on Gender- Based Violence would run until 10th December 2022, will the Minister now confirm when the results of that consultation will be made public, including its recommendations?
Deputy L.M.C. Doublet (Assistant Minister for Home Affairs - rapporteur):
I thank the Constable for her question. The taskforce ran the public call for evidence. Initially it was scheduled to end on 10th December last year; we did ask for that to be extended and the taskforce agreed just to enable as many people as possible to take part in that. That was only the first stage so that public survey that went out that anybody could answer was only the first stage of that research, which is quite a wide-ranging piece of work. So the taskforce is also undertaking research with professional support services, with victims and survivors, with children and young people which is a really large part of their work. This is happening over January and February, I think; that part of the research is about to be concluded. That data will be analysed and the analysis should be received by the taskforce at the end of April this year and then the taskforce will meet to discuss those findings and they will start to develop recommendations. Those recommendations, we expect those to be published around July this year.
