Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 February 2026

Debate

Victims and Courts Bill

Contribution

The scheme also has significant shortcomings in how it communicates with victims. While we are aware of work to improve this, many victims continue to contact the commissioner to express their concerns, describing how their experiences with the scheme left them feeling re-traumatised. It is clear that meaningful holistic reform of the scheme is needed, and we hope that this amendment will start to address that.
