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.

What about women who escaped domestic violence and where left to move from privet accommodation to private accommodation?
