The following amendments were tabled:
Amendment 1 Heledd Fychan (South Wales Central)
Add as new point at end of motion:
Believes that the reliance of charities and third sector bodies working in this area on short-term, competitive funding adds administrative burden, hinders long-term planning, and affects the recruitment and retention of staff, which particularly affects smaller organisations serving minority ethnic, disabled, LGBTQ+ and migrant women.
Amendment 2 Heledd Fychan (South Wales Central)
Add as new points at end of motion:
Regrets the UK Government's decision to:
a) cut 4.2 per cent funding for frontline survivor support services; and
b) increase the national insurance contributions of charitable and third sector bodies working in this area in Wales, further exacerbating the current cost pressures.
Calls on the Welsh Government to encourage the UK Government to exempt charitable and third sector bodies working in this area from the proposed increase in national insurance contributions.
Amendment 3 Heledd Fychan (South Wales Central)
Add as a new point at end of the motion:
Calls on the Welsh Government to establish a sustainable long-term funding model for specialist services of violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence with streamlined tendering and reporting processes.
