Victims’ Commissioner 2026 Victims’ Survey - you can take part whether reported to police or not

[IwantToRetire]

The Victims’ Commissioner for England and Wales, Claire Waxman OBE, has launched the 2026 Victim Survey to gather insights into victims’ experiences of crime, support services, and the criminal justice system.

The Commissioner is urging victims to take the survey because their responses will help shape recommendations to improve support, strengthen victims’ rights, and deliver better justice outcomes in the future.

"Every victim’s experience matters. Whether you reported the crime to the police or chose not to, your insight is vital in helping us understand what is working and where change is urgently needed. I encourage all victims to take part in this year’s survey so that your voice can shape the improvements and reforms that will better support victims in the future. " - Claire Waxman OBE, the Victims’ Commissioner for England and Wales

Partly promoted to share because despite police and politician statements about violence against women (let alone ingrained sexism) if YouGov is to be please the great british public doesn't think these are an issue - https://yougov.com/en-gb/articles/54367-attitudes-to-policing-and-the-wider-law-and-order-system

Bumping this up so it doesn't get lost on the thread. Make your voice heard

I hope those who have had the misfortune to have suffered a crime will share their experience of trying to get action and support.

There are so many women who have suffered some form of male violence and not been supported.

As well as the threatst to women who want to speak about the impact of trans culture on their life, and are ignored whilst TRAs are immediately validated by the police.
