A new service has been launched today (1 April 2015) to help North Yorkshire residents who have been victims of crime and need emotional and practical support to cope and recover after crime.

 

The “Supporting Victims North Yorkshire” service provides help to victims in a number of different ways, to help them to cope and recover from the impact of crime. Experienced Supporting Victims Victim Care Co-Ordinators offer advice and guidance for victims of crime via a dedicated telephone service.

Supporting Victims can also refer victims to additional specialist services, aimed specifically at victims of sexual or domestic abuse, those who have suffered as a result of serious crime, people who have been persistently targeted and those feel vulnerable or intimidated as a result of criminal activity.
