Good morning,
Thank you for your email.
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 partly held by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent.
You requested the following information:
Does the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner current fund any support services for victims of non-criminal anti-social behaviour in the police force area?
Please see decision log published on our website regarding funding of support services for victims of non-criminal anti-social behaviour in Gwent Decisions | Gwent Police and Crime Commissioner
If yes, please can you provide details of the service commissioned, including the funding provided and how many victims were supported last year.
Please see decision log above for funding information. Ultimately the Victims Care Unit/Connect Gwent team is managed by Gwent Police and therefore they would be best placed to answer your request as to how many victims have been supported in the previous year. You may wish to contact them directly for further information using the following link: Request information about the police | Gwent Police
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.
You have the right to appeal our decision if you think it is incorrect. Should you feel dissatisfied with this response or the way in which your request was handled, information on the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent FOI Appeals Procedure can be found on our website:
