Agenda item

The Panel considered a report of the Head of Governance and Commissioning which provided an update on the application of victims commissioning and restorative justice funds in 2015/16 and the conclusion of the procurement exercise to select the provider of a victim needs assessment and referral service which would commence on 1 April 2016 (for copy see file of Minutes).

Councillor Allen informed the Panel that the victim needs assessment and referral service would provide better value for money through collaboration.  The service was more targeted around the victim and this was welcomed.

The PCC thanked the Head of Governance and Commissioning and his team for the work done to get to this position.

Resolved:

That the report be noted.
