New Website For Victims of Crime

Last week, Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Thames Valley Anthony Stansfeld launched a new website to support victims of crime.  Victims First is a new online resource for victims of crime which has advice on what to do and how to get help.  It includes information and advice for victims including signposting them to services to help them cope and recover from the impact of the crime.  It also includes a section on the Victims Code explaining clearly what help victims can expect from the police and other criminal justice agencies if they report the crime.

The focal point of the website is a directory which allows victims to find relevant support in their area.  Members of the public will be able to use the website to refer themselves directly to the PCCs own support services or find information and contact details for other organisations.  This support is available regardless of whether or not the victim has reported the crime to the police.
