New service to support people affected by crime opens today!

New victim support service launches in West Mercia

Delivering on the PCC's commitment to ensure every victim and witness of crime gets the support they need, when they need it, a new victims’ service has launched today.

The Victim Support Gateway, which will be delivered by Victim Support, will provide support to victims of all crimes, including specialist services for victims of hate crime, modern slavery and a restorative justice service. Victims will also be referred to other specialist local services, for long term support, depending on their needs.  

All support is free and confidential, and available regardless of whether the crime has been reported to the police.
