The West Midlands has announced it will be increasing support for people from the LGBT+ community who are victims of domestic abuse and rape.
Simon Foster, West Midland’s Police and Crime Commissioner (PPC), secured funding from the Ministry of Justice to pay for two new domestic abuse specialists.
The move to include the new specialists is part of an inclusive effort to show support for domestic and sexual violence victims.
As a part of this scheme, the newly implemented Independent Domestic Violence Advocates will be two of 33 new experts to be recruited.
