I am passionate about being a strong, supportive voice for victims. The criminal justice system can be a daunting process for anyone, but for those who have been the victim of a crime it can seem like an alien procedure that doesn't always put the needs of the victim at its heart. I am committed to ensuring that everyone working in the system - from police to courts, prisons and probation - are putting the victim's needs at the centre of all they do. I will continue to commission and support the services in our county that work tirelessly for victims.
