The current debate seeks to address the lack of progress on delivering a Bill for victims' rights despite repeated promises by successive governments. The Labour Party has introduced this Bill, which builds on the work done by Claire Waxman and Keir Starmer in London. It aims to empower victims with more than just codified rights but also tools to uphold them, such as creating a register of those who breach victim codes, enhancing the role of the Victims’ Commissioner, informing victims of their essential rights at the earliest opportunity, and allowing direct complaints from victims without needing MP authorization.
