I’ve extended my 2026 Victims’ Survey until 20 May. If you’ve been affected by crime in the past five years - whether you reported it or not - there’s now more time to share your experience. Read more and take the survey🔗 victimscommissioner.org.uk/n…
Graphic promoting the Victims’ Commissioner’s 2026 Victims’ Survey. On the left, white text on a magenta background reads: “Have you been a victim of crime? Whether you reported the crime or not, we want to hear from you. Your voice matters. Complete the Victims’ Commissioner’s 2026 Victims’ Survey and help drive change. victimscommissioner.org.uk”. On the right, a photograph shows two police officers walking along a park path beside a lake with trees in the background. The Victims’ Commissioner logo appears in the bottom right corner.

The Victims’ Code promises fundamental rights after crime, but inconsistent delivery leaves too many victims sidelined. This consultation is a chance to fix that - to improve the Code, rebuild trust, and ensure victims are properly informed and supported consult.justice.gov.uk/victi…

New Year = new deals! But make sure they’re genuine. Criminals can create fake ads on social media and clone legitimate websites to steal your money. Take Five before you buy to: ✅ Research the seller ✅ Check the website is genuine ✅ Use secure payment methods

Monitoring her location. Restricting her from going online. Isolating her from loved ones. These are not signs of love – they are abuse. See it for what it is: gov.uk/enough

What is a ‘spoofing’ scam? 📞 This happens when a criminal changes the number appearing on your phone to seem like a legitimate company. If you ever receive a call out of the blue, make sure to hang up and call them on a number you know to be true.
