Victim Services

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Cumbria (the Commissioner) is intending to undertake a market engagement exercise to inform the specification development to procure Victim Services with a contract renewal commencing 1st April 2024. Victim Services would offer support to victims of crime, whether or not they chose to report this to the Police. This would potentially include triage, individual assessment of needs and risk, needs-led provision of emotional and practical support, support with the criminal justice process and advocacy. It would provide an enhanced service to those entitled under the Victim’s Code of Practice. The service would potentially incorporate support for some victims of antisocial behaviour and for survivors of domestic abuse and sexual abuse or sexual assault, including Independent Domestic Violence Advisor and Independent Sexual Violence Advisor services. The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner is currently working with other local partner agencies to confirm the funding and scope of this potential service.
