As the Deputy may be aware, my Department is leading the development across Government of the third national strategy on domestic, sexual and gender-based violence, which will place a priority on prevention and reduction and will include a national preventative strategy.
My Department has engaged in an innovative partnership with the sector in leading the development and design of the third national strategy. I see this inclusive process as key to developing a comprehensive workable roadmap.
I expect to receive a complete draft of the new strategy by the end of this year and I will then engage in a focussed public consultation process early in the New Year, before bringing the finalised strategy to Government in Quarter 1 of next year.
