At the end of November, working with Victim Support, we hosted a North Worcestershire ‘Diverse Community Forum’ in Kidderminster. There were over 25 people in attendance with many of our diverse communities represented. We had lots of positive, open and frank discussion about how police and our diverse communities can work together better, building long term relationships and trust. New partnerships and relationships have been formed to the benefit of us all.

Similar events have already been held this year in Bromsgrove and Redditch and there will be more coming in 2025.

If you are interested in being involved in future forums, please email our Hate Crime Officers on amy.hemming@westmercia.police.uk    and christopher.evans@westmercia.police.uk
