The 2022-25 Doncaster Community Safety Strategy has a strong focus on tackling domestic and sexual abuse and reducing violence. The strategy commits to develop a longer term financial and commissioning strategy to ensure there are specialist services for victims of domestic abuse and sexual abuse. In 2019 Doncaster saw a spike in sexual abuse cases of 3.7% compared to the previous year in line with England. Doncaster Councils Crime and Community Safety Report highlights a reduction in sexual abuse and rape throughout 2020 and an increase in other sexual offences compared to 2019 (as shown in Fig.2). Whilst the reduction in sexual abuse and rape cases are positive, it’s important to note that the numbers remain high, the pandemic likely had an impact on the reporting of offences and the reduction is much lower than the South Yorkshire average.The contract duration will be for three years with option to extend by a further two years making a total of five years, The annual budget not to be exceeded is £114,000. The value given in this notice is for the full 5 years.
