LGBT Safety Forum Leicester

From Dennis Bradley:

The LGBT Community Safety Forum has been in existence for over 10 years now and is one of the Leicestershire Police’s Independent Advisory Groups.

The forum is made of representatives from the Police, Crown Prosecution Service, Victim Support, Leicester City and Leicestershire County Councils, Trade, the LGBT Centre and members of the LGBT community and in the past has been instrumental in developing policies and procedures designed to improve the service that LGBT people receive from the police and partners.

Recently the community membership of the group has declined and in order to try and increase community involvement again Prism have agreed to host the quarterly meetings.

The next meeting will be help at the LGBT Centre on the 22nd February starting at 7pm, food and refreshments will be provided so to with numbers if you could please email Darren Goddard atdarren.goddard8196@leicestershire.pnn.police.uk if you would like to attend.

We think that our involvement in this forum is really important as it is one of the ways that we can ensure that issues such as homophobic and transphobic hate crimes, domestic violence involving LGBT people remain firmly on the agenda for the Police and their partners and we would encourage as many of you to attend as possible.
