This service is designed to provide support to victims of any crime identified as vulnerable.
This service has been delivered by Victim Support since 2015.
Victim Support provide counselling and practical support to all vulnerable victims, including those that could be considered as suffering ‘less serious’ crimes, although potentially causing significant emotional or financial impact upon individuals.
This can include, for example, victims of burglary, robbery, violent crime, vehicle crime, fraud cases, and stalking or harassment cases.
It also includes high-risk victims of crime-related anti-social behaviour.
Victim Support work closely with Merseyside Police to receive reports of victims identified as vulnerable, and respond according to the individual need of the victim.
Vulnerability can take many forms, including persistently targeted victims, younger or older people, and victims with mental health issues, learning difficulties, the disabled, socially excluded or isolated.
The service also provides care and support for vulnerable victims identified by national agencies, such as Action Fraud.
