Cheshire Police is calling on people who have been victims of crime to fill in a feedback survey - aiming to improve the services provided.

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire, John Dwyer, is running the scheme - feedback will be used to re-shape the services that are provided to victims.

One of the Commissioner's key responsibilities is to commission and fund support services for victims across Cheshire.

People who have been a victim of crime within the last three years are being encouraged to fill in the survey, regardless of whether they reported the crime to the police.

The survey response it aimed at helping Cheshire Police to improve its supoort of victims going forward (Cheshire Constabulary).

The survey is open all year round and you can complete it HERE.

Knowing which services people accessed and getting feedback about people's experiences will enable the Commissioner and the police to improve the support provided to victims going forward.

John Dwyer, Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire said: "One of the key priorities in my Police and Crime Plan is to deliver justice for victims of crime.

"To do that effectively, I need to know where the current system is working and where it needs to be improved.

"If you've been a victim of crime in the past three years then please do take a few minutes to let me have your views.

"It's only by gathering as many experiences as possible that we can ensure an ever-improving service for victims in Cheshire."

The survey will ask about victims' experiences with current services and also ask about what services should be available to victims in future.

There are currently three main victim support services commissioned in Cheshire:

• Cheshire CARES (Cope and Recovery Enhanced Service) was set up by John Dwyer in his first term as Commissioner to support victims and can be accessed by anyone in Cheshire.
• RASASC (Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre) provides support for victims of sexual assault, rape and sexual abuse through specialist counselling.
• Remedi provides Restorative Justice services, bringing victims and perpetrators together to mediate and repair the harm caused by crime. Remedi also provides victim support services for people affected by hate crime in Cheshire.

PCC Dwyer also operates a Victims Hub on his website. This includes an A-Z of support services and organisations for victims of various crimes.

People who have been a victim of crime within the last three years are being encouraged to fill in the survey (Cheshire Constabulary).

John Dwyer will serve Cheshire Police as a PCC until 2024. He held the post between 2012 and 2016 – becoming the first person to do so.
