Please take a moment to listen to my MP Blake Stephenson MP who fully supports my call for changes to the Unduly Lenient Scheme (ULS) scheme which would ensure victims rights are equal to those of offenders. Blake has been instrumental in shining a light on our call for Josh’s Law.
We welcome Alex Davies-Jones MP commitment to our calls for Josh’s Law. Ensuring victims have equal rights to information about the ULS scheme. Considerations outside of the strict 28-day rule in exceptional circumstances must be applied where the Crown Prosecution Service have failed to inform them.
Our deepest sympathies and prayers are with the family of Baroness Helen Newlove, the Victims' Commissioner for England & Wales. She turned personal tragedy into a lifelong fight for compassion, decency, and respect for all victims. Her courage and dedication have fundamentally changed our justice system 🙏🏻

The campaign to change the Unduly Lenient Sentence (ULS) scheme has been driven for years by Tracey Hanson MA, FRSA of The Josh Hanson Trust, and I have long supported it. These amendments will level the playing field and ensure victims have equal access to information and time to appeal
Today in House of Lords, we’re pushing forward important amendments to landmark victims’ legislation - Victims & Courts Bill. Keeping the focus on victims is essential if we are to make meaningful progress and improve the lives of victims in this country. parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/bf…

Victims and bereaved families must be informed of their right to appeal before the 28-day deadline. While we are disappointed the amendment was not passed we are grateful to SalBrinton for her speech, and pleased the minister has agreed to meet before Report Stage.
