Finding you the right support
Derbyshire Victim Services are here to provide both the public and victims of crime with easily accessible information, advice and links to local and national support services. It helps ensure people can self-refer to support services and access information on a wide variety of different crime types. It also offers people the opportunity to report a crime and provides advice on what to do if somebody has been a victim of crime.
Whether you have been affected by crime – or you know someone who has – this website could help. It offers advice for those affected by crime and will provide support, information and advice for the public and victims of crime alike. If you have been the victim of a crime, it is important that you understand the steps that come next and how to receive the support you need.

Going out-out should be about having fun, but sometimes someone can say the wrong thing, spill a drink or bump into someone else. Things can get heated and that can lead to situations that are unsafe.
Walk Away was set up to help people make the right choices when something starts getting out of hand to prevent it escalating. Nights out can be memorable, but make sure it’s for the right reasons.
If someone you know is making a situation worse, spot the signs and help them out:
👀 Look out for your mates – if they’re staring, shouting or squaring up, get them to walk away
🗨️ A quick apology – apologising on behalf of a friend can help clear up any understanding before things kick off
🧍♂️ Step in – if you feel comfortable, step in and make eye contact with your friend, it can be easier to talk them down
🫸 Steer them away – taking your friend by the shoulders and getting them to walk away often works better than holding them back
❓Ask for help – if you’re out with others, ask them to help step in too and get everyone away from the situation
🚨 If you feel the situation could get violent or out of hand, call 999 or 101 if it’s not an emergency.

Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts has reflected on her first year in office and moving forward the opportunities we have to deliver the best we can for our residents.
So far, she has worked with the Force, residents, community groups, and strategic partners to drive far-reaching change, and has committed to amplifying the voice of communities as we deliver for Derbyshire together.
Shortly after her election, the PCC launched the largest public consultation of its kind in Derbyshire, engaging more than 3,300 residents to help shape the future direction of community safety, policing and crime prevention. 💬
The views, ideas and expectations gathered during this extensive engagement exercise laid the foundations of her new Police and Crime Plan - a clear, community-driven blueprint for safer streets and stronger neighbourhoods over the next for years.
The roadmap targets the six priorities that matter most to residents: serious violence including violence against women and girls, anti-social behaviour and community safety, neighbourhood policing, bringing offenders to justice, drug dealing and substance misuse and supporting victims and safeguarding. 🚓
Following the launch, the Commissioner set a robust first budget, ensuring resources are directed where they are needed most, and make the greatest impact on the public’s priorities.

As elected representatives for the public, PCCs are provided with a protected budget to commission services and projects in their areas that help to prevent and tackle crime and anti-social behaviour, reduce the risk of harm to residents and support victims of crime.
Nicolle is once again inviting non-profit organisations, charities and voluntary partners in Derbyshire – the people who know their communities best - to apply for grants to help deliver against the priorities of her Police and Crime Plan.
Grants of up to £5k will be available to help deliver against the key priorities of Nicolle’s Police and Crime Plan, which will benefit residents, neighbourhoods and the wider community.
The deadline for applications is Friday 25 July 2025. Further information and details on how to submit an application can be found here: www.derbyshire-pcc.gov.uk/homepage/safer-and-stronger-communities-fund/
Please note that if your organisation is currently in receipt of a grant through the first round of the Safer and Stronger Communities Fund, you are not eligible to apply for this round of funding.
