Many victims are also feeling a heightened level of anxiety post-pandemic and combined with the current economic climate, this is creating a complexity of need, elongating the timeline for support. These combined factors have generated unprecedent demand for the unit and OPCC and Surrey Police is to increase resourcing to ensure the unit continues to provide high quality support which meets victims’ needs.

- Additional funding (outlined below) is provided to the Victim and Witness Care Unit to increase resources to manage demand and support victims to cope and recover.
