Badges A SUCCESSFUL advocacy service to guide survivors of sexual abuse and violence through the justice system has been recommissioned for at least another three years. The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland has invested almost half a million pounds in an Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) service, to support victims across Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Stockton. The all-age service Arch Teesside have been awarded the contract after delivering the service as a sub-contractor of Teesside Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) for the past three years. ISVAs are trained to provide emotional and practical support to survivors of rape, sexual abuse and sexual assault who have reported to the police or are considering reporting to the police.

The office for the Police and Crime Commissioner in Cleveland has been given £205,000 for services helping victims of child abuse MORE than £200,000 is going towards transforming services to support sexually abused children in Teesside. The office of Cleveland’s Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) is getting the money to enhance its services helping young people recover from abuse. Acting Police and Crime Commissioner Lisa Oldroyd said: “I’m delighted that we’ve joined such a prestigious group of organisations to secure this funding. “In a recent a consultation we conducted, nine in 10 respondents wanted to see more investment in recovery services for children who have suffered exploitation and sexual abuse.
Lisa Oldroyd, acting police and crime commissioner POLICE officer numbers in Cleveland are on track to reach the highest levels in several years, after an increase to the policing precept received unanimous support from an independent panel. Cleveland Police and Crime Panel unanimously supported an inflation-level increase of 1.99 per cent, which equates to a £5.19 annual increase for Band D properties. This works out at 10p a week. As 80 per cent of properties in Cleveland fall under Council Tax Bands A to C, the majority of residents will pay less than the 10p weekly increase. Acting Police and Crime Commissioner Lisa Oldroyd has continued to challenge and fund the Chief Constable to recruit police officers more quickly than the Government’s national uplift targets.
