Description

On the 1st of October 2014, the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for
Derbyshire took over responsibility from the Ministry of Justice for commissioning
victims services. Alongside the work to implement the Police and Crime Plan for
Derbyshire in promoting safer communities, the PCC's primary function in respect
of victims is to deliver the Victims' Code of Practice in line with EU regulations.
The overall vision and ambition is to reduce the number of victims and crimes
over time, deliver positive outcomes for victims and communities, ensure equal
access and increase the confidence and number of people coming forward for
support and/or to report the crime to the police.
To do this the PCC is working in partnership with Derby City and Derbyshire
County Councils, Derbyshire Constabulary, the Criminal Justice Service and
voluntary and public sector statutory providers of services, towards the shared
ambition of a consistent and seamless victim service across city and county,
whatever the assessed risk or need.
To achieve this, the PCC determined to redefine his strategy and delivery model
in response to a needs analysis that was commissioned and completed in May
2015. This work included wide consultation with victims' services and key
stakeholders in Derbyshire, with victim focus groups, community surveys and
stakeholder semi structure questionnaires.
Through this process the PCC was mandated to take the lead in the oversight of
the delivery and strategy of victim's services across the city and county,
monitoring outcomes and facilitating joint work amongst partners delivering
support services for victims.
It is in this context that the Commissioner now wishes to procure a Support
Service for Young Victims of Crime in Derbyshire operating from 1st April 2016.
