Report on the Draft Bill published by the MOJ

The Partnership considered a report giving an update on the Draft Victims Bill and the impact it would have on Council and Partners.

The purpose of the Draft Victims Bill was to improve the end-to-end support for victims of crime so that they received the support needed to cope and recover from the impact of crime and felt able to engage and remain engaged in the criminal justice system. Together the measures would amplify victims’ voices in the criminal justice process, strengthen transparency and accountability of criminal justice agencies and improve support for victims.

RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
