Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 March 2026

Debate

Victims and Courts Bill

Contribution

This amendment reflects what survivors themselves have told us works. The victim navigator programme from Justice and Care has helped people to stay engaged with investigations, feel less alone and begin to recover their sense of dignity. It frees up police time and reduces costs. I urge the Minister to accept this amendment, so that compassion, trust and continuity are not dependent on postcode or on charity funding. I think that keeps me well within my 10 minutes.
