Police and Crime Commissioners
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact on victims of crime of the abolition of Police and Crime Commissioners.
- Answer
-
We recognise the important work PCCs do to commission vital support services for victims and witnesses of crime. We are working closely with the Ministry of Justice to establish how PCCs’ existing victims’ responsibilities will operate within the new police governance system. Ensuring continuity of support for victims in the future arrangements will be a key priority.
We are establishing transition working groups to consider the design and implementation of the future governance arrangements. One of these will specifically focus on partnerships and commissioning, including victims’ responsibilities.
