Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 March 2026

Debate

Victims and Courts Bill

Contribution

I asked Justice and Care why more forces do not involve victim navigators; I was told that modern slavery and human trafficking have not been a political priority. They have dropped down the priorities of some in police leadership, who are unwilling to pay for them. Those who work in Scotland are in fact funded by the Scottish Government. In England, most are funded by Justice and Care’s own charitable funds. A couple have funding or co-funding from their host agency, or from a mayoral office or PCC.
