Local Victim Support Schemes

Local Victim Support Schemes are community-based programs that provide free, confidential assistance to individuals affected by crime or trauma. They offer emotional support, advice, and practical help to help victims cope and recover. These schemes work alongside law enforcement and other services to ensure victims receive appropriate care, information about their rights, and guidance through the justice process. Their goal is to empower victims, reduce their distress, and promote healing within the community, fostering a supportive environment where victims feel valued and understood.
