 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.

The Service will provide specialist advocacy and support to victims who are dealing with the specific risks and vulnerabilities of PPDA and will support them in engaging with the police complaints and disciplinary system
