Help Needed.

I am looking for men and women who have had experience with Hampshire Constabulary when reporting Domestic Abuse.

I am collating data and would love to hear any feedback you have for me, both positive and negative.

My intention is my to disgrace nor promote, simply evaluate facts. I cannot do this with figures alone.

Hampshire Constabulary pride themselves on their approach to tackling domestic abuse, however the reality is much the same as any crime. Without hard evidence,  it is impossible to progress and receive the correct support. Particularly when domestic abuse happens behind closed doors and is so easily hidden.

Domestic abuse is not just physical, it can involve psychological harm and also financial harm.

I will not disclose any information publicly, and will uphold any information given with the strictest confidence.

In a system where the Constabulary are responsible for investigating themselves, I feel it is only fair to have an open forum to gather statistics regarding the true reflection of affairs.

What support were you offered?

Did you feel safe and protected?

Did you feel heard?

What was the outcome?

Are you more at risk since disclosing the abuse?

Do you feel your case was investigated properly?

Did they let you submit and provide all relevant evidence or was anything dismissed?

Were you offered emotional support?

Were you handled with care?

What services did they recommend for aftercare support?

Were you given the option to speak to an officer of appropriate gender?

How quickly did they respond?

Did you report, or did Hampshire Constabulary approach you after a concern was raised by a member of the public or other organisation?

Did you feel pressure to report when you did not feel comfortable to? Perhaps risk of harm as a result?

How has it impacted/improved your life?

Do you feel safer after their intervention?

Were any charges bought?

Do you feel satisfied that correct action was taken?

What could they have done differently?

Did you feel respected throughout the process?

Did they have doubts, and how did they express that to you?

Did they clearly explain the process?

Did they offer you their record of success in protecting victims from abuse?

Did you feel confident that you were in safe hands?

Any other relevant information would be invaluable.
