Allocating the funding in this way ensured that all victims of child sexual abuse receive the support they need, when they need it. The process recognises both the urgency of supporting victims now, and the need to ensure that a strategic sustainable national response is established. The Chief Constable for Norfolk is the National Policing Lead for Child Protection and Abuse Investigation and the Norfolk Police and Crime Commissioner is committed to supporting victims of sexual abuse as evidenced through its Police and Crime Plan.
