The Parole Board has released a new leaflet and video to guide victims through the parole process. The resources explain how to submit a Victim Personal Statement, outline the stages of the process, and describe how to observe an oral hearing. Victims are encouraged to use the materials and to enrol in the Victim Contact Scheme, where a Victim Liaison Officer will provide information and updates. Chief Executive Cecilia French thanked victims’ rights groups, the London Victims Commissioner and victims for their contributions. The new tools complement last year’s national rollout of victims observing oral hearings and aim to clarify victims’ rights and opportunities to be heard.
