Supporting Victims
VSS are unique in that they are available to all victims after crime; regardless of the crime type, if it has been reported to the police or not, and no matter how long since it took place. VSS firmly leads the way in providing trauma-informed emotional, practical, and financial support for anyone – victims, witnesses, and their families - affected by crime in Scotland.
VSS works alongside their partners to listen to and learn from the views and experiences of victims and witnesses. Their strength is their ability to take these views and experiences and to positively influence national policy decision making, advocating for a better justice system.
Through the support they offer, victims of crime have improved health and wellbeing, feel safer, feel informed and the economic impact of crime is reduced.
