Recommendation 48

Accepted
Paragraph: 119
Policing must demonstrate cultural change through excellent service for VAWG victims.
Conclusion
Policing needs to show rather than tell women and girls that cultural change has taken place. It can start by providing a consistently excellent service to victims and survivors of VAWG. The availability of officers with the right skills and sensitivities is a crucial part of this.
Government Response Summary
The government is working with the NPCC to design a new Criminal Justice Unit Optimum model aimed at improving case progression and communication with the CPS, which will consider existing good practice and the Soteria model for all crime.
