Victims and survivors of domestic abuse, will be better protected through the criminal justice system, in a change of legislation being welcomed by the PCC.

The changes nationally help to reinforce work locally.

Commissioner John Campion said “My commitment is to always put victims first and I’m pleased to see the holistic approach to tackling this complex and important issue, at a local and national level. It’s vital that victims and survivors have specialist support to cope and recover.

I am also committed to tackling offender behaviour at the root, and ensuring the police and criminal justice system do all they can to protect victims and bring offenders to justice.”

If you have been a victim of domestic abuse, please find contact details for support services, commissioned by the PCC, across West Mercia. Please make sure that you also report it to West Mercia Police.
