@DominicRaab Joined our frontline ISVA's at SERICC (Thurrock Essex) Yesterday to discuss major steps towards the New Victims Law, as the government launches its consultation.
Victims of Sexual Violence & Abuse will be better heard, served and protected under these reforms.
We’re rolling out pre-recorded cross-examination for victims of rape and modern slavery to all Crown Courts across England & Wales.
This spares them the stress of going to court and I look forward to working with the judiciary, police and CPS on its careful rollout.
Synergy Essex were successful in applying to a data aid project back in 2020.
Data Aid will be holding an event on the 30th and 31st March 2022 – Synergy Essex anonymised data will be used during the event to answer questions posed by PHD students.
Thank you so much to @Synergy_RCC and the ISVA team for hosting me and @DominicRaab. It was fantastic to hear about the joined up support that rape victims in their area receive, straight from the ISVAs who provide it. Looking forward to many more conversations in the future.
Rape crisis centres such as @Synergy_RCC are a lifeline for victims of sexual violence.
