Shropshire company leading key study for police
Shropshire research business Pleydell Smithyman is to lead a study into how crime victims are supported across a huge area of Wales.
The company has been appointed by Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner Christopher Salmon to look into gaps in the service. It will help Mr Salmon commission a new suite of victims' services in Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Powys.
Sarah Wheale, project consultant at Ironbridge-based Pleydell Smithyman, said: "We're thrilled to win this contract to provide a directory of victims' services.
"Our research will include building a database of victim's services, hosting workshops with organisations who wish to help victims, surveying service providers, creating a service provision map and inviting feedback on our draft report."
Workshop invitations are being distributed from May 19. Those eager to take part in the research should contact Sarah Wheale on 01952 433211 or sarah@pleydellsmithyman.co.uk
Mr Salmon will be responsible for local commissioning of victims' services from October.
