The Ministry of Justice has shared an update on recent sentencing changes and what they may mean for people affected by crime.
The update recognises that these changes may feel worrying, particularly for those waiting to understand how their case could be affected.
If you are affected, the Ministry of Justice will make every effort to contact you directly when there is confirmed information to share. If you are already part of the Victim Contact Scheme, your Victim Liaison Officer will explain any relevant changes to you.
You do not need to take any action in the meantime.
Support is available if you need it while you wait. Eligible people can also join the Victim Contact Scheme at any time by emailing [email protected].
