We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Baroness Helen Newlove, the Victims’ Commissioner for England and Wales.

Baroness Newlove was an extraordinary advocate for victims and a tireless campaigner for their causes. Throughout her tenures as Victims’ Commissioner she amplified victims’ voices, advocated for their rights, and worked relentlessly to improve their experiences. Her work and dedication bought about real and lasting change for victims and survivors across the country.

Our thoughts and condolences are with her family and loved ones at this difficult time.
