Safety of Men and Boys Scoping Report
The Mayor of West Yorkshire commissioned an independent scoping report on the safety of men and boys following discussions with partners and through close working with male victim support services funded by the Mayor across West Yorkshire.
The Mayor’s Safety of Womens and Girls Strategy and the considerable work already underway to support victims across West Yorkshire includes how best to address the often-complex vulnerabilities and safety of men and boys, building on existing provision alongside research, interventions and learning.
LimeCulture, commissioned by the Mayor, directly engaged with 40 key stakeholders, undertook a desk-based review of national and local strategies, literature, research and practice to identify key concerns, risks and protective factors relating to the safety of men and boys across West Yorkshire.
The Mayor’s Police and Crime Plan 2022 -2024 sets out her vision for a safe, just and inclusive West Yorkshire as part of a vibrant and diverse region. It is home to many different communities within the towns, cities, and villages of our districts. Supporting victims, survivors, witnesses, and those harmed by crime is at the heart of Mayor’s Police and Crime Plan.
The scoping report on the safety of men and boys supports the work to embed a trauma-informed approach across systems to ensure services are sensitive, empathetic and understand the impact of lived experiences. The Police, Mayor and partners focus on keeping people safe from (and preventing), harmful behaviour, exploitation, and abuse and to support people in building the resilience to overcome and survive criminal behaviours.
Bringing a whole person approach to the different strands of vulnerability and innovative approaches to working across community safety and wider partners supports people to access support in new ways.
The report findings will influence a change in commissioning across the system. Support local and regional approaches to future commissioning of appropriate, effective, and integrated multiple-needs services.
This report will be shared with our partners and decision makers and influencers, Boards and Groups for victims and the criminal justice system for review and comment. This will form part of our work to progress the findings of this report with partners.
We welcome your views and comments and look to seek your feedback on the recommendations included in the report. Please email these to pccommissioning@westyorks-ca.gov.uk and title your email ‘Safety of Men and Boys scoping report feedback’.
