A well attended meeting with lots of discussion about how the PCC could practically support victims and witnesses. The questions from the audience were varied and included how the relationship with Local Authorities would work, weaknesses of the Criminal Court system, issues related to human trafficking. Other questions included police management of individuals with mental health issues, removal of DNA samples from the data base, commissioning process for specialist services, Integrated Offender Management and restorative justice.
My commitment to 'Putting People First' resonates with the ethos of Victim Support to provide services that support people and not processes.
My thanks to Brian Senior and the staff from Victim Support who organised the hustings.
