Last week for the first time an interview with a child abuse victim was carried out by a child psychologist instead of a police officer, who oversaw the gathering of evidence watching from a control room.

HRH Duchess of Cornwall, over the years has been supporting the work of the police and other professions who deal with sexual assault, giving praises to the staff working or assigned to cases saying: "I think the thing is about rape and sexual abuse, people don't really want to address it, nobody knows about the wonderful work people do behind the scenes. That's why you should all be applauded for all you do. You don't get enough acclaim. "

Later in the day, she visited the Met(Metropolitan) Police offices in Lambeth, which uses the latest global tracking and location capabilities to help police locate the person in distress and provide a rapid response.

She was welcomed by Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick who described domestic abuse as a "pernicious problem" as she showed the Duchess the innovative technology which keeps victims safe.

The Duchess sat at a desk with communications supervisor Steve Vaughan, and watched as he responded to the fictitious alert which brought up a woman's location and showed the criminal record of her partner and his car details.

TecSOS emergency technology is used by:

✅ 40 police forces
✅ 13,000 UK users
✅ 1,900 activations of the device.

Her Royal Highness said to the Met Commissioner: "Just seeing it is believing - very impressive."

Since it was launched in the UK in 2011, TecSOS has been adopted by 40 out of 43 UK police forces and has given more 13,000 high-risk domestic abuse victims added security and been activated almost 1,900 times.

According to Clarence House: At the end of the visit the Met Commissioner gave a short speech: "It means an enormous amount to us that you're taking such a keen interest in the issues of domestic violence, which of course remains a really pernicious problem in our society and in London and something we in the Met take incredibly seriously.

"I'm thrilled to have come today, I've learnt a lot.”

"And I think there are lots of signs we are getting better and better and better at dealing - from a police point of view - but there is so much more to do, and the fact you're so interested in this subject and have met colleagues working with the new way of protecting people is really appreciated."

In response, The Duchess praised the work of staff who take emergency calls from those in need: "I'm thrilled to have come today, I've learnt a lot.

"I see how much work and how much time goes into it all, and the pressure, the pressure all of you must feel - I'm astounded by all the work you do and I can only congratulate you all, you do us all a tremendous service, I don't know what we'd do without you."

“It’s been an enormous pleasure to meet you!”
