About

Ministry of Justice awarded a contract to Victim Support for the delivery of an effective service for family members bereaved by homicide and eyewitnesses of homicide, providing caseworkers who offer emotional, practical, advocacy, and peer support to help them cope and recover from the impact.

The service also includes outreach support for children and young people in the community in the immediate aftermath of a homicide or major incident, ensuring an inclusive and accessible service free of charge, delivered through face-to-face, digital, and remote methods across England and Wales, with access to translators as required.

Targeted support is provided for bereaved children and young people to address adverse childhood experiences, and all staff, volunteers, and sub-contractors receive appropriate vetting and training, including trauma-informed support and risk assessments for safe service delivery.

The contract value is £21,770,980.
