London’s first ever Victims’ Commissioner is to be appointed to work with survivors of crime to improve the criminal justice process.

Mayor Sadiq Khan today advertised the role with the successful candidate working with the Met Police, the Crown Prosecution Service and the Ministry of Justice.

He said: “Crime can have a devastating and lasting impact on people’s lives, which is why I am putting the needs of victims at the heart of policing in London.

“The right support can make a huge difference in helping people navigate the criminal justice system and recover from painful experiences, as well as driving down reoffending.”
