Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether the Government plans to establish an Independent Violence Advocate as part of the Victim's Strategy, published in September 2018, Cm. 9700.
In the Victims Strategy published on 10 September, we committed to reviewing the current victims supporters landscape. Our review will enable us to identify any gaps in the services currently available to victims and ensure all victims of crime have access to the support and protections they need. We will await the outcome of the review before deciding whether further supporter roles are required.
