Description:
Improving the experience of the criminal justice system for
victims and witnesses continues to be a key government priority.
Over the last few years extensive reform has been introduced to
ensure the system is more focused on supporting victims and
witnesses through the criminal justice journey.
Acknowledging the positive developments; this important fifth
annual conference will help move the debate on victims and
witnesses forward by providing an opportunity to hear the latest
government policy and discuss how to provide, implement and
improve support services where they are most needed.
Bringing together representatives from groups that provide
care and assistance for victims and witnesses: the courts, the
police and probation service, the witness service, voluntary
organisations, social services and other key stakeholders, this
national one-day conference will explore how to provide better
support for vulnerable and intimidated victims and witnesses.
