The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) carries out a wide range of consultations and engagement.
This is to make sure the PCC and his staff know what the people of Cleveland want and need. As a result, the OPCC can look at meeting their needs.
Current consultations
Feelings of safety for women and girls
The OPCC is currently conducting a consultation to understand how safe women and girls feel, what level of harassment they have experienced and what they think can be done to make them feel safer.
The survey will explore how safe women and girls feel when at home, in their local neighbourhood, in town centres and in local parks or green spaces – both during the day and at night.
Respondents will be asked to identify specific locations where they feel most unsafe and will be asked what measures they have taken in the past to make themselves feel safer.
The feedback collected from the survey will help the PCC’s office further develop their work to make Cleveland’s public spaces safer, by identifying specific hotspots and behaviours that cause the most concern.
