Deeply troubled by the number of mental health homicides—and the trauma bereaved victims face. Many of these tragedies could have been prevented. Grateful to hundredfamilies for their dedicated work—supporting victims and calling for change. More from Rebecca Barry ITV News 👇

To drive better outcomes for victims, it's crucial we understand why some chose to withdraw from the criminal justice process. If you live in London and reported to the police but opted to withdraw or disengage, Victims’ Commissioner London wants to hear from you. Survey closing soon:

Deeply troubled by the rise in domestic abuse suicides—and the many missed chances to spot red flags, stop perpetrators and save lives. In 68% of cases, victims or perpetrators were already known to police or another agency. This must be a wake-up call. theguardian.com/society/2025/m…

#MartynsLaw has passed its final vote and can now become law—vital to improving how venues respond to these horrifying attacks. Admire Martyn's mother Figen and others for their determination to ensure no one has to experience what they endured. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

New HMICFRS report confirms what victims tell me: box-ticking exercises replace genuine information sharing and victim-focussed service. Yet better service leads to better outcomes, frees up officer time and strengthens trust in policing. My statement: victimscommissioner.org.uk/news/victims-c…

Measures in the Crime and Policing Bill to tackle anti-social behaviour are welcome. But while town centres rightly get attention, the most persistent and harmful ASB often takes place in residential communities - beyond the reach of 'hotspot' policing and new Respect Orders 👇

Very important points raised by Victims' Commissioner for England & Wales We often receive enquiries from individuals experiencing anti-social behaviour in residential settings. It is important that this is taken into consideration with the introduction of extra neighbourhood police officers.

I welcome the national rollout of victim-attended parole hearings - lifting the lid on a process that’s long felt closed off to victims. We must get this right: victims need proper support and clear access to information. My statement: victimscommissioner.org.uk/news/private-p…

The Victims' Code sets out the rights victims have and the standard of service they should be able to expect. Yet, criminal justice agencies often fall short in upholding these and awareness remains low. Pleased to contribute to a campaign aiming to change that 📽️👇:

Support services are a lifeline to victims and a core part of how we deliver justice - these 👇 powerful examples illustrate that perfectly. Yet, due to rising costs and cuts to funding they’re having to turn victims away. This has real consequences. More in The Mirror:

I welcome the government’s pledge to boost funding for specialist therapeutic support, including for adult survivors of child sexual abuse. Doubling national funding shows real intent – though victims will need a long-term, sustained commitment in the upcoming Spending Review.

How local authorities and frontline services speak to and engage with anti-social behaviour victims often has a significant impact on their well-being. If you have experienced anti-social behaviour and want to improve victim communication, contribute to this survey.👇

The Rachel Sylvester Crime and Justice Commission report is out. It lays bare a criminal justice system in crisis. It is, sadly, all too familiar in places - but that should not distract from the weight of its argument: change must come. My reflections in today’s The Times and The Sunday Times 👇

Tagging is meant to give victims reassurance – that conditions will be enforced, boundaries respected and an offender’s whereabouts known. Delays shake victims' trust and undermine their sense of safety. These failures must not be repeated.

Along with the Victims' Commissioner for England & Wales Baroness Newlove and others, we're calling on the government to implement the IICSA recommendations to include child sexual abuse, online-facilitated sexual abuse, grooming, stalking and coercive control within the scheme. thetimes.com/uk/law/article…

New Crown Prosecution Service stats show a small but welcome drop in victims withdrawing after charge. Amid record delays, this underlines the importance of victim services in keeping people engaged. But many face closure due to funding cuts and rising costs. My statement👇victimscommissioner.org.uk/news/victim-at…
