Well, look, this is a national emergency and the public are right to push for this change
0:04
But this will be the largest change in our approach to violence against women and girls ever
0:10
We will use the full force of the state, whether that is to prevent boys and young men perpetrating violence in the first place
0:18
whether it's managing perpetrators and making sure they're brought to justice or whether it's supporting victims
0:25
This will be a major intervention in our ambition to halve violence against women and girls in the next 10 years
0:34
We wanted to get it right and we make no apology for that. What we're announcing today is that the NHS for the first time
0:40
is really stepping into this space because victims of domestic abuse and violence
0:46
often might come to the GP for another issue and actually making sure our GPs can understand
0:54
can see the signs, can talk through in an appropriate way, and then signpost people to good support is really important
1:01
That's one part of the announcement. The other is that we're going to support child victims of sexual abuse
1:06
through a series of what are called child houses, where instead of making children go to multiple places
1:13
to tell their story and get the services they need, there'll be one place where they can come
1:16
They can tell their story one time, and then all of the therapeutic services and support
1:22
will be wrapped around those children
