Victims of violent crime and stalking to get better support

Northumbria PCC Susan Dungworth joined by MP Alex Davies-Jones and Northumbria Police ACC Alastair Simpson

Backed financially by the Government's Ministry of Justice and Violence Against Women and Girls programmes, the Supporting Victims Programme will channel money into areas of priority. It will cover emotional, practical and therapeutic support to victims of crime and advocacy services.

The PCC hopes that the new fund, which closes on November 16, can help reduce waiting times, easing pressures on frontline services, and ensuring help is available when people need it most.

Enquiries carried out extensive victim needs assessments, service reviews and victim surveys to identify local priorities.
