Councils will have a legal duty to house victims of domestic abuse and their children, the prime minister has announced.

Sandra Horley, chief executive of Refuge, said the decision could secure"life-saving services".

"This has the potential to end the postcode lottery for refuge places and could put these life-saving services on a secure financial footing for the first time." She said:"Safeguards to ensure that experienced women's services - including smaller specialist organisations led by and for black and minority ethnic women - are sustainably funded through a new statutory system will be vital.

Ministers have launched a consultation to determine how much funding is needed and where it should go by talking to victims and survivors, as well as organisations supporting victims and their children.
