Dame Vera Baird QC, the Victims’ Commissioner, has launched the 2022 Victims’ Survey.
The purpose of this survey is to explore experiences of the criminal justice system from the perspectives of people who have been victims of crime or who have reported a crime in the past three years. Its finding will help future victims of crime get the support and justice they need.
Dame Vera Baird QC has said: “As the Victims’ Commissioner for England and Wales, I champion the rights of victims and make sure they are treated fairly and correctly by the criminal justice system. It is vitally important that I hear from victims about their experiences of the criminal justice system. This is your chance to give me your perspectives. By sharing your feedback, I can help ensure future victims receive the support and justice outcomes they need.”
The survey should only take around 15 minutes to complete and you can find it here.
