Partnerships – working with other organisations
We speak out as a national voice for victims and witnesses and campaign for change in England and Wales. Our voice and our work are strengthened by working in partnership with many other organisations that have an interest in victims or witnesses.
Our partnership work includes joint research and campaigns as well as referring on victims for more specialist help.
