Support for Victims

The Supporting Victims pages are designed to show you what services are available across West Yorkshire and in your area. Pages in this section detail the help available from Victim Support, the services commissioned by the Mayor in your area, and/or the Ministry of Justice.

The Mayor will continue to commission the most appropriate services that victims and witnesses need, building on the excellent work already being undertaken around priorities including domestic abuse and sexual abuse, hate crime, human trafficking, road safety and restorative justice.

It is important for victims and witnesses to know they can access all the services listed here regardless of whether you wish to report a crime to the police. The purpose of these services is to support you, or someone you may know who has been affected by crime, in coping and recovering.

Please know that you are not alone.

  3. Restorative Justice

    Restorative justice brings those harmed by crime, and those responsible for that harm, into communication with each other. This contact can offer victims the opportunity to be heard, to ask questions of the offender, and to have their say in the resolution.

  5. The Victims Code

    The Code of Practice for Victims of Crime (Victims’ Code) sets out the minimum standards that must be provided to victims of crime by organisations (referred to as service providers) in England and Wales.
