Super-complaint from the Tees Valley Inclusion Project about the police response to victims of sexual abuse from ethnic minority backgrounds who may be at risk of honour-based abuse.

HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS), the College of Policing and the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) have published a report in response to the super-complaint submitted by the Tees Valley Inclusion Project.  The super-complaint raised concerns about how police forces in England and Wales respond to victims of sexual abuse from ethnic minority backgrounds who may be at risk of honour-based abuse.

Following an investigation, we have made recommendations to chief constables, police and crime commissioners or equivalents, and the National Police Chiefs’ Council.

We are aware of accessibility issues with this publication. We are working to fix these.
