It’s good to see this new report focusing on the victims of crime recently released by Northamptonshire’s Victims’ Commissioner, Angela Sarkis CBE. Look out for further reports issued by your own local Victims’ Commissioner over the next few months.
The role of the Victims’ Commissioner is to promote the interests of victims and witnesses, encourage good practice in their treatment, and regularly review the Code of Practice for Victims which sets out the services victims can expect to receive.
The Commissioner is there to listen to the views of victims and witnesses, understand the criminal justice system from their point of view and try to help improve the services and support available.
