Lancashire Victim Services

In meeting its obligations to the Ministry of Justice and in line with the priorities of the Police and Crime Commissioner, we will be looking to commission services that support to victims of crime, whether or not they chose to report this to the Police. The full specification and model design is still in development however, this could 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 survivors of domestic abuse and sexual abuse or sexual assault, including Independent Domestic Violence Advisor and Independent Sexual Violence Advisor services.

The Commissioner is intending to undertake a market engagement event on Thursday 4th July 2024 via MS Teams. Should you wish to attend please submit your contact details to the below.
