Yesterday the Focus Group was joined by Jeff Cuthbert, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent. Jeff and his team presented certificates of thanks for the feedback we provided in August to help create hate crime awareness leaflets. Jeff also spoke about his role as Commissioner, and asked if any of the group has experienced hate crime. 

Jeff wrote about the visit: ‘Today I was delighted to meet with Caerphilly People First. I wanted to thank them for their involvement in helping to create a new easy read leaflet in partnership with my office to make sure people with disabilities are safe. The leaflet provides information on the many types of abuse people with disabilities may face and reinforces the importance of reporting a crime. It offers information on organisations that offer unique support to those with additional needs’.
