Victims Register

A key purpose of the Victims Register is to allow someone who has been a victim of violent crime to be advised at key points while the offender is under sentence or (where applicable) extended supervision after completing the sentence.

All those included on the Victims Register also have a statutory right to make a written submission to the Adult Parole Board when the offender is being considered for parole or extended supervision.

The Victims Register commenced on 30 August 2004.  From 26 February 2007 it has operated from within the Victims Support Agency.

This section explains what information about prisoners/offenders is available, who can access this information and who is eligible to be placed on the Victims Register.
