Victims Unit
Head of Unit: Frances Flaxington
The Victims Unit works closely with the Justice and
Witnesses Unit and with other units across the Home
Office as it has the lead responsibility for implementing
the Victims and Witnesses Strategy launched on 22 July.
The VU’s role is to co-ordinate the work of Government
departments ( both criminal justice and more widely)
in taking forward initiatives to develop services that
support victims and witnesses and improve confidence
and satisfaction in the CJ system. An implementation
plan to deliver the strategy at both a national and
local level is being developed.
