Victims' Summit held in Birmingham to discuss support and services

West Midlands Victims' Summit was held at Birmingham ICC building, inviting charities and campaigners together to discuss support for victims and how services can be improved.

Charities and organisations had the opportunity to network and connect with other organisations dedicated to supporting victims.

West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Foster says,

"Tackling violence against women and girls remains a top priority."

“Supporting victims and standing up for their rights is absolutely fundamental to delivering access to justice. Too often victims feel unheard, unsupported or unsure of what help is available to them."

Supporting victims and making sure they get the help they need is a key priority in the Police and Crime Commissioner’s Police and Crime Plan for 2025 to 2029, with a focus on strengthening victims’ rights and improving access to justice across the West Midlands.
