Decisions

The Fund currently allows for applicants to apply for three years’ worth of funding.  It is however recommended that due to the election in May 2024, the Fund rules be amended to allow applications for only one year’s worth of funding so that the elected PCC can review the Fund and consider any changes they may want to implement once in post. 

Due to the nature of the existing three year grant awards, for 2024/25, out of the £300,000 available, £207,352 has already been ringfenced for the delivery of year two and year three projects.  This means that the funding available for the 2024/25 period amounts to £92,648.

The Commissioner is satisfied that the complaints examined had been dealt with appropriately by the Chief Constable.

Following a request for additional funding the PCC has decided to make a further award of £16,000 to Cyfannol for the period of 1 August 2023 – 31 March 2024 to maintain their Independent Sexual Violence Advisors provision at current levels for the remainder of the financial year due to loss of funding from another funder.

The Police and Crime Commissioner has agreed to extend the Chief Constable's initial contract of 5 years from August 2019 to 31 March 2025 to allow for continuity and stability following the Police and Crime Commissioner election in May 2024.  

 Umbrella Cymru have been awarded £77,948 for the delivery of this service in 2023/24.    A re-commissioning exercise for adult victims’ services is planned for 2023/24 and with the delay in procuring the children and young people’s victim service, it is now appropriate for the scope of the adult victims’ service re-commissioning exercise to be broadened to include the procurement of a children and young people’s service.
