Victim Needs Assessment – 2014

The Victims Needs Assessment was an evaluation of victims needs across North Yorkshire. The assessment drew upon victims views of current victim support services, it evaluated existing services and identified wider good practice; it highlighted gaps and improvements that could be made.

It undertook an analysis of the potential demand for these services based on crime type and victim need.

The Victim Needs Assessment has been used to commission new specialist support services for victims and has influenced the design of wider support services for the future.
