Mr. Burrowes: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what telephone helplines his Department and its predecessors have provided for victims of murder and manslaughter in each of the last 10 years. [315350]
Claire Ward: Since 1999, core funding has been provided to SAMM (Support After Murder and Manslaughter) who operate a national helpline for relatives bereaved by murder and manslaughter.
In addition, my Department provides funding to Victim Support. In each of the last ten years their annual grant supports their telephone helpline which offers emotional support and, practical advice to victims of crime including relatives bereaved by homicide.
On 26 October 2009 the Ministry of Justice launched an advice helpline to provide relatives bereaved by homicide legal advice on personal and social issues.
Since 2004-05 the Victims Fund has provided grant funding to a number of specialist organisations working to assist relatives bereaved by murder and manslaughter. This funding has supported telephone advice offered by the organisations Winston's Wish, Advocacy after Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA), and Mothers Against Murder and Aggression (MAMAA).
