Victim Support

Picture
We're here for you if you've been hurt by crime or trauma. Everyone reacts differently when they've been affected by crime. Victim Support will provide support and information so that people affected by crime and trauma understand their rights, and what they can expect from the justice system. We also help people to understand what they need to do to participate in the justice system and how they can feel in control as they rebuild their lives.


Services Offered:
  • Emotional first aid and practical support at the time of crisis 
  • Financial grants to reimburse costs after some serious crimes, especially homicide, death by a criminal act, and sexual violence
  • Referral to counselling and other services, and payment of counselling costs in some cases
  • Help dealing with the criminal justice system e.g. attending court, restorative justice, parole board; preparing victim impact statements and help organising travel and accommodation if required 
  • Help dealing with grief, loss, trauma and shock
  • Follow up on wellbeing/safety after crisis and further emotional and practical support if required
  • Specialist support following a homicide
  • Advocacy with other organisations
