Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner response
- No recorded information is held, as the OPCC does not commission any victim services that are exclusively for victims under the age of 18.
- Please see our response as below:
2021/22
Please note – prior to the 2022/23 financial year, we did not collect demographic data for the users of services commissioned by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner. Therefore we are unable to confirm how many under-18s were supported by OPCC-commissioned services in 2021/22.
