Victim and Witness Care Unit
That this Assembly recognises the work that is undertaken by the Victim and Witness Care Unit to support victims and witnesses of crime; acknowledges that delays in the criminal justice system and a lack of resources have had an adverse effect on the support provided during the prosecution process; notes with disappointment that domestic abuse and sexual crimes are not contained within the August 2023 Department of Justice Report entitled Victim and Witness Experience of the Northern Ireland Criminal Justice System: Key Findings-2022/23; and calls on the Minister of Justice to lay out plans to improve the victim and witness experience.
