Consultations

Part of the Police and Crime Commissioner role is to listen, respond, and act upon your views, carrying out meaningful consultation with the public to inform the work of the Office.

Listening to the community, business, specialist partners and the Chief Constable’s team, who deliver the operational policing is an important first step before producing a Police and Crime Plan.

You can find open surveys and consultations on this page. You can also sign up to the mailing list to receive a monthly alert about open consultations.  See the latest email here.

Violence Against Women and Girls call for evidence

The Commissioner, is asking residents and practitioners to share their thoughts, views and experiences of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). The views and feedback will provide the Commissioner’s VAWG Task Group  with a clear understanding of the scale and impact of these crimes across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

Through this call for evidence the Task Group specifically wants to:

• hear people’s experience of the reporting process
• understand support service capacity
• identify examples of best practice and what is working well locally
• learn about the current challenges in tackling VAWG and what requirements are necessary to improve

Take part in the VAWG Task Group call for evidence by completing the most relevant online survey for you:

• Local residents: http://s.alchemer.eu/s3/Public-VAWG-Survey-2022  
• Young people http://s.alchemer.eu/s3/Young-People-s-VAWG-Survey
• Professionals and experts – http://s.alchemer.eu/s3/VAWG-Practitioner-Survey-2022

Please do not use this call for evidence to report a crime. If you need to, you can call 101 or use the online reporting link: Report a crime | Hampshire Constabulary. In an emergency always call 999. If you are looking to report a VAWG related crime triggered by this call for evidence, please do so via online reporting or 101 ensuring you reference the survey/call for evidence in your submission.

Due to the sensitive nature of this call for evidence, and the need to ask about personal experiences of violence, harassment and abuse (for example sexual assault, stalking, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, etc.) it is important that where needed, individuals reach out to access the support available:  Supporting Victims.

This call for evidence is open for 6 weeks, from March 8th 2022. until  April 18th 2022 11.59pm.
