Disclosure Details

Two duties are placed on public authorities under Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). Notwithstanding applicable exemptions, the first duty at, Section 1(1) (a), is to confirm or deny whether the information specified in a request is held. The second duty at, Section1 (1) (b), is to disclose information that has been confirmed as being held. Under the provisions of those sections of the FOIA, we can confirm that the information you seek is not held by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent.

You have requested the following information:

Can you provide details of grants awarded in the financial years 2022-2023 and 2023-2024:

  • For which at least one of the outputs/outcomes was to provide services to victims of stalking. This could be any service to help victims such as counselling, information and advice, or casework; or address perpetrator offending such as perpetrator intervention programmes, however there must be specific reference to working with victims of stalking.  
  • Please provide details of the grant including the amount, the service provider, the services provided and the specific stalking outcome/output.   
  • Please indicate with a y/n if the service is open to victims of stalking who are not ex-intimate in the table below. 

2022-2023 & 2023-2024:  

We do not have any grants that have been awarded specifically for victims of stalking.  We have a contract (not a grant) with Victim Support that may provide a service to those affected by stalking if required. 

The Freedom of Information Act is a public disclosure regime, not a private regime. Any information disclosed under the Act is thereafter deemed to be in the public domain, and therefore freely available to the general public and will be published on the OPCC website.
