Support for Victims of Stalking Offences

Tender description

For a Stalking Advocacy Service and we value the input of providers locally and nationally to help inform service design. We want to publish an invitation to tender at the earliest opportunity. It is also envisaged that the PCC will work in partnership with other funders locally to provide an intervention for perpetrators of stalking with a view to reduce offending and re-offending. We invite interested organisations to help inform developments in this area also. Lot 1: Hampshire and Isle of Wight Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Donna Jones is committed to improving outcomes for victims and ensuring that they have the support services they need. In her Police and Crime Plan 'More Police Safer Streets' the PCC stated that she would 'overhaul stalking and harassment services and ensure support for victims when they have the courage to come forward and seek justice'. The PCC highlighted this as a priority early in the creation of her Police and Crime Plan and the planned investment reinforces the commitment made. The PCC has also committed to target perpetrators and support them in making better choices to reduce reoffending. Additional information: If you would like to register interest for the event and to receive the 'Teams' invitation, please respond to this PIN at the earliest opportunity. Please note - if there is insufficient interest in the event or a number of providers are unable to attend due to the time of year, we may postpone until January 2023.
