VEV Champion Honoured With Award

The Worcestershire Forum against Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence were pleased to recognise the excellent work undertaken by Kiran Robotham for the delivery of the Visual Evidence for Victims scheme (VEV) across Worcestershire.

She was presented with a Quality People award by the Forum. VEV is designed to take police approved photographs of injuries or things that have been damaged. Examples being;- Physical injuries, such as bruises, cuts, scratches or pulled out hair. The project can also store photographs securely so that they will be available if you decide to report the crime later on. Images are stored securely for up to 6 years allowing the victim time to decide what do whilst securing that vital evidence. VEV is run by Victim Support with the help of other local organizations independent of the police. Across Worcestershire there are a range of agencies trained as VEV champions, namely:- Stonham, Women's Aid, The Glade, WMRSASC, Safer Worcester, Victim Support, Maggs Day Centre, and Bromsgrove District Housing Trust. Plans for other agencies to take part are in the pipeline. Well done Kiran!
