Does your group or organisation represent marginalised women and girls across the county?
The West Mercia Police (WMP) are setting up an Independent Advisory Group to give feedback and advice on their Violence Against Women and GirlsPlan. This plan is based on the Maggie Blyth Report into the inadequacies of how police deal with crimes against women and girls: https://www.npcc.police.uk/SysSiteAssets/media/downloads/our-work/vawg/policing-vawg-national-framework-for-delivery-year-1.pdf
The WMP are looking for groups representing marginalised women and girls who can give the police advice based on their knowledge and experience of police actions (or inactions) on domestic and sexual abuse and other forms of violence against women and girls.
If you would like to express an interest in being involved, please contact Herefordshire Women’s Equality Group at: joanna@beanfield.co.uk before Tuesday 25th July, and they will forward the name of your organisation to WMP.
