New guidance will also be given to police officers on preventing attacks, including searching potential perpetrators for harmful substances. Further work will also take place with retailers to agree measures to restrict sales of acids and harmful substances.
The Home Office said the measures will form part of a wide-ranging review of the law enforcement and criminal justice response, existing legislation, access to harmful products and the support offered to victims.
Assistant Chief Constable Rachel Kearton, national police spokesperson for corrosive attacks, said Sunday: "Police have dealt with a number of high-profile cases in recent months and we continue to collect data from police forces across England and Wales to understand the scale and extent of these attacks and develop our ability to support and protect victims."
In the journal Scars, Burns & Healing published on Thursday, acid attack survivor Katie Piper said victims face a life sentence.
In the article Piper said: "I will continue to need operations and therapy for life. For acid attack survivors, the aftermath is a life sentence."
