Collaboration with partners

Collaborating with our partners to ensure victims are appropriately supported throughout the justice process:

• Involve support workers from the first call
• Expand our information sharing protocols across sectors involved with VAWG
• Work with partners to create protocol and guidance around how we interact with women and girls involved in gender based violence to ensure consistent communication for victims
• Create a mechanism where information regarding instances of VAWG can be reported to police (example – crimestoppers)

This idea is from a stakeholder seminar hosted recently by Police Scotland and key partners. It relates to suggested Outcome 1 - Supporting Victims
