Our commitment to keeping women and girls safe in Merseyside
We know that every day across Merseyside and in the UK, women and girls are subjected to incidents of violence, hate and sexual assault. These often take place at work, in schools, on public transport, in open spaces, in universities and, in the place where they should be safest, home.
Sadly, many of these incidents go unreported. We know that far more needs to be done to tackle this.
For this reason, we want women and girls across Merseyside to know that Merseyside Police is committed to tackling the violence and abuse aimed at them. We will ensure that they are given the support and action that is required at their time of need.
This is our priority.
Our dedicated Unity team
We have a dedicated ‘Unity’ team to investigate rape and serious sexual offences. We have reviewed how we investigate to improve the service we offer to victim-survivors and ensure that more cases reach court.
Advice and information
We have a wealth of advice and information available online.
