<p /> <p /> <p>From 1 October 2014 the majority of support services for victims of
crime will be commissioned at the local level by democratically elected and publicly
accountable Police and Crime Commissioners and this Government is making more money
than ever before available to ensure that victims receive the vital support they require.</p><p>
</p><p>PCC's with their knowledge of local victims' needs are uniquely placed to ensure
that available funding is targeted where most required to help victims of crime to
both cope with and, where possible, recover from the impacts of crime.</p><p> </p><p>PCCs
are also ideally placed to co-commission with other local commissioners such as Health
or Local Authorities, thereby reducing duplication and achieving better value for
money.</p>
