We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Baroness Newlove. Helen was a tireless advocate for victims who challenged justice agencies to treat victims with the compassion, decency and respect they deserve. She'll be greatly missed. Full statement:victimscommissioner.org.uk/news/statement…

Yesterday, I published the largest Victims’ Survey ever – featuring over 6,500 voices. Confidence in the system is alarmingly low. If victims lose faith, they may stop coming forward. Justice cannot be delivered if victims are silent. More in @DailyMail: dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…


Over 6,500 victims’ experiences are captured in my latest survey – the largest yet. It's a comprehensive account of the victim journey, and it's clear confidence in the justice system is alarmingly low. This should trouble us all. More in @Independent: independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

A new report from @VictimsComm has found staggeringly low confidence in the criminal justice system, particularly for victims of domestic abuse. All parts of the system need urgent reform to rebuild victims' trust and deliver the justice they deserve. shorturl.at/fORfL

Today I publish my largest ever Victims’ Survey: over 6,500 victims sharing their experiences. One finding stands out: fewer than half believe they would get justice if they reported a crime. That should trouble us all. 🧵
