Evaluating the Support for Migrant Victims (SMV) Pilot: Findings from a process evaluation

Product Description

In July 2020, the Home Office (HO) announced the launch of a UK-wide pilot programme to support victims/survivors of domestic abuse who otherwise had no recourse to public funds (NRPF): the Support for Migrant Victims (SMV) Pilot. The Pilot was to run for a year “to support migrant victims of domestic abuse who do not have access to public funds to access safe accommodation”. In the same month, HO commissioned the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT) to undertake an independent evaluation of the Pilot, in order to understand the current support available to victims/survivors with NRPF, whom the Pilot was supporting, the costs of the support, its outcomes, and the specific challenges associated with delivering it.
