A NEW strategic lead has joined Plymouth City Council to help implement the recommendations from the Violence Against Women and Girls Commission (VAWGC) across the city.
The multi-agency commission was established in January 2022 by Plymouth City Council following the murder of Bobbi-Anne McLeod.
Since the final report was been published, organisations have been working hard across the city to shine a light on the issue and drive culture change, create safe spaces, ensure that women and girls in Plymouth are supported and empowered to report violence and abuse and get the support they need at the right time and in the right place.
One of the key recommendations from the VAWGC was that a new strategic lead be recruited to help drive forward this work and this has now been completed.
