Press releases

Victim Support is encouraging people to come forward for free emotional and practical support if they have been affected by media coverage of the sentencing of serial rapist Reynhard Sinaga.

The Government have announced support for the introduction of a Victims’ Law. Chief Executive of Victim Support, Diana Fawcett, commented on the announcement.

New figures show that as many as 68% of victims are still waiting on court-ordered compensation they were granted half a year ago.

The majority of victims say that the justice system does not meet their needs, and victims lack legally enforced rights in their dealings with the police, courts and other agencies, with many not receiving the right information, help or support to which they are entitled.

We are very concerned by the rise in knife crime offences

We are delighted to announce our partnership with Verisure, whose generous donations will help enable us to continue to provide specialist emotional and practical support to victims of crime across England and Wales.

Following the Finsbury Park attack we have worked closely with the local community to provide information and support to victims.

One year on, independent charity Victim Support is still supporting survivors and witnesses of the Westminster terrorist attack.

"Part of a victim’s journey to cope and recover is being able to find closure. This often involves understanding issues from the offender’s perspective, which is where restorative justice plays such an important part in the work we do."
