ICYMI: Full clip of my Good Morning Britain interview.

Thank you for spotlighting anti-social behaviour.

I will continue to push for better support for these victims. As Ed Balls said, I don't give up easily.

As Victims' Commissioner, my inbox is full of victims' accounts of anti-social behaviour.

They tell me they feel ignored, passed from pillar to post and need help.

The #VictimsBill must provide them with better support.

✍️ My words in The Mirror 👇

The Victims' Code severely lacks any enforceability meaning that many victims' rights, like the right to make a victim personal statement (VPS), are not being delivered and there are no consequences.

As victim myself, bereaved of fatal domestic abuse, the criminal justice

Victims need more than just good intentions. All too often our justice agencies are letting victims down – with few repercussions.

The #VictimsBill needs stronger oversight mechanisms to ensure victims receive the rights they deserve.

Good to see Suzy Lamplugh Trust raising awareness about the importance of ISAs.

According to my report, advocates provide invaluable support to victims.

💬 Pleasure speaking to Sophie Huskisson about the severe impacts of anti-social behaviour.

As I know too well, persistent ASB can be like a living nightmare.

📣 Things must change. The #VictimsBill must be amended to recognise these victims of persistent ASB.
