We call on the UK Government to introduce a ‘Victim of Police Misconduct Card’

Background

This card will serve as a safeguard, ensuring victims can assert their rights, access immediate legal support, and remind police officers of their accountability, reducing the risk of future harm and empowering victims in interactions with law enforcement.

Additional details

A Victim of Police Misconduct Card empowers individuals by safeguarding their rights, offering access to legal and emotional support, and deterring future misconduct. It serves as a reminder to officers of their accountability, promotes fair treatment, and provides victims with tools to protect themselves. This card is vital for rebuilding trust, ensuring transparency, and offering reassurance to those who have suffered at the hands of those meant to protect them.
