1 North Wales Police Domestic Abuse Action Plan - September 2014 Background: Her Majesty s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) undertook a national inspection of the police s response to domestic abuse in The report - Everyone s Business: Improving the Response to Domestic Abuse - highlighted a series of both national and local recommendations for each force to progress and publish as part of a Domestic Abuse Action Plan. North Wales Police and Domestic Abuse Domestic abuse is a priority for North Wales Police at all levels which was fully acknowledged by HMIC. We have a dedicated number of specialist domestic abuse officers across the force who work tirelessly with partners from public and third sector agencies to support victims of domestic abuse and to safeguard those affected individuals. North Wales Police have a longstanding and effective working relationship with our partners in the public and third sector to enable those experiencing domestic abuse to seek the help and support which is right for them. Collectively, we seek to empower those who are experiencing domestic abuse and, with the support which is available, enable them to have the confidence to break free from the abuse cycle they are in. Our Vision: A Safer North Wales

2 The North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner s objectives are to prevent crime, deliver an effective response, reduce harm and the risk of harm and build effective partnerships. In seeking to deliver on these objectives, the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales, Winston Roddick CB QC, has made a direct plea to victims of domestic abuse to: "Come forward and you will be taken seriously and treated sensitively". Feeling safe, secure and unthreatened by crime, criminals, and intimidation from whatever source are of greatest importance to us all and the Police and Crime Commissioner recognises this within the Police and Crime Plan. With particular reference to the objectives of reducing harm and the risk of harm, crime types that are included within this category include domestic abuse. To deliver this objective, the Police and Crime Commissioner expects: The Chief Constable to provide effective responses to incidents of domestic abuse, and I will work with the Chief Constable and partners to ensure appropriate support services for victims of domestic abuse are provided across North Wales". The Police and Crime Commissioner has recognised the direct and indirect impact that Domestic Abuse can have, not only of the victim and their immediate family but he the wider societal implications. As such, he has developed his intentions for the commissioning of victims services to provide victims of crime with appropriate support services as well as actively supporting the continuance of a voluntary perpetrator scheme within North Wales. HMICs assessment of North Wales Police: HMIC found that although domestic abuse is a clear priority for North Wales Police, and that this is recognised by staff at all levels, there were some areas where they felt the force could make improvements. These areas fall under the four below categories:

3 Identifying Victims Keeping Victims Safe Management of Risk Operational Effectiveness for Keeping People Safe North Wales Police have captured the recommendations on an action plan and have consistently worked to address each recommendation. Our progress is reported on as below and scrutiny of the Forces progress against the action plan has been ongoing within the Senior Executive Board who receive regular updates.
