The Office of the Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner is seeking to commission the following support services for 2018-21 (subject to continuation of funding):

• Victims of hate crime (race or ethnicity, religion or beliefs, sexual orientation, disability, transgender identity)
• People subject to harmful practices (female genital mutilation/cutting, forced marriage, honour-based violence, modern slavery, emerging harmful practices)
• Families affected by homicide, including families of crime-related road traffic collisions

Application forms and guidelines for the funds are being finalised and should be available by next week, so check back on our website and Twitter feeds for updates.
