Scope
Description
Victim satisfaction with the Metropolitan Police Service (the Met) has not been high for some time and the Casey Review highlighted that trust needs to be rebuilt with Londoners and with victims of crime. To help achieve this, the Met is reviewing how victims are looked after when they come into contact with the police: from the first point of contact through to justice outcomes. The Met wants to provide better, more consistent victim care to rebuild lost confidence and place victims at the heart of what they do.
This can only be achieved by involving victims in the improvement process, hence we are establishing the Victim Voice Forum (VVF) programme, giving a voice to specific victim groups with low trust and confidence in the police:
Victims from London's Black communities
Victims/survivors of violence against women and girls
LGBTQ+ victims
Disabled victims
The contract will begin early 2026 and will run for an initial term of 2.5 years, valued at £50,000. There will be two optional one-year extensions, each valued at £20,000 per year.
