Short description

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough is looking for a local organisation to deliver emotional and practical support and advocacy for young victims and witnesses of crime.
The successful bidder will be asked to deliver a hybrid model with staff splitting their working time between Cambridgeshire Constabulary’s Victim and Witness Hub (currently at Copse Court, Peterborough) and home.
Referrals for emotional and practical support will come via the Hub and self-referrals. This could be for direct support for a young person, or their families, to enable them to, where possible, recover from the crime they have experienced.
Victims must be able to choose the way they want to engage with the workers with a minimum offer of one face to face session as part of a bespoke recovery plan.
The provider must have a comprehensive working knowledge of the local services available for young people and their families and know how to access them.
