Voice Against Violence will speak to Ministers and CoSLA in Parliament on the 1st of February. All eight of us VAV people will be there together with Alex Neil the Minister for Housing and Communities, Adam Ingram who is Minister for Children and Early Years and Cllr Harry McGuigan who is the CoSLA Spokesperson for Community Wellbeing & Safety.
We will share our views on what needs to improve for children affected by domestic abuse. Some of the things we will talk about are:
1. Funding for the CEDAR Groupwork Programme as funding for it is likely to be stopped after March 2011.
2. Funding for Children’s Workers which is going to continue for at least another year – Great News!
