The Government has invited comments on the following:

  • Whether a Victims’ Ombudsman should be introduced;

  • The guiding principles of the Charter;

  • The new measures that the Charter should take into account;

  • The format and title of the Charter;

  • Whether further measures can be introduced to support the victims of hate crimes;

  • Whether victims of non violent offenders sentenced to 12 months or more should be informed of their release from prison;

  • The proposals to offer better services at court;

  • Whether there is support for considering the introduction of a “victims’ fund” to ensure that court compensation orders are paid promptly.

The consultation period ends on June 15th 2001. Responses should be sent to Geoff Bradshaw,

Room 334, Justice & Victims Unit, The Home Office, 50 Queen Anne’s Gate, London SW1H 9AT. The e-mail address is geoff.bradshaw@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk.
