Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the College of Policing about updating their THRIVE guidance with regard to reporting and combating rural crime.

Guidelines on the use of THRIVE are published by the College of Policing here: https://www.college.police.uk/guidance/vulnerability-related-risks/introduction-vulnerability-related-risk.

The Home Office has not had conversations recently with College of Policing about updating their THRIVE guidance with regard to reporting and combating rural crime.

We are committed to driving down rural crime and the Home Office continues to work closely with the National Rural Crime Unit to help ensure an effective police response to rural crime.
