We are delighted to be working with partners across the Tees Valley and the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) on an initiative to help understand the needs and views of victims of crime. In addition to focus groups aimed at gaining the views of specific groups in the community, we ask that as many people as possible complete the online survey here.
This initiative focuses on understanding the needs and views of people from under-represented groups who may not engage with traditional organisations or services. The aim is to strengthen a representative victim-survivor voice by establishing a lived experience panel to inform victim commissioning in Cleveland, enhancing the OPCC’s commissioning practices and improving the capacity and resilience of commissioned victim support services.
The closing date to complete the survey is Tuesday 31 March 2026.
Please circulate this within your networks to help us gain the views of as many people as possible.
