Claire Waxman OBE, an independent voice for victims. The official account for the Victims' Commissioner for England & Wales.







Today, I have announced £5 million of funding for the @CPSUK to support victims of domestic abuse in the Crown Court. Victims will be offered a pre trial meeting with the prosecution. This will provide them with better support and ensure their voice is heard.

Great to be featured in this week’s Closer, discussing my case, the Victims’ Right to Review pilot, the campaign behind it, and the work of Make Yourself Heard (@MYH_ldn). Victims deserve to know they have the right to ask for decisions to be reviewed - yet too many still don’t know this right exists. We must keep the pressure on to ensure the pilot is made permanent.
