Corporate affairs

The policy and research team aim to ensure that victims and witnesses are well represented at all levels of decision-making in central and local government.

We know that victims and witnesses are a crucial and often overlooked contributor to the success of our justice system. They deserve to be supported by both the criminal justice system and the community as a whole.

Through our work, which includes informed research and positive campaigning, we will empower victims and witnesses with a strong voice so that together we can bring about positive change to the criminal justice system, including Victim Support’s own services.
