Victim Commissioner launches 2026 Victim’s Survey
Claire Waxman, the Victim’s Commissioner for England and Wales, has recently launched the 2026 Victim’s Survey.
A survey has been launched to better understand the experiences of victims and their journey throughout the criminal justice system. It gives victims a voice and a chance to openly, anonymously share their views. The Victim’s Commissioner aims to use the results founded by the survey to drive real change within England and Wales.
Hearing from victims and their loved ones can help identify gaps in support, improve policies and services, and ensure victims are heard.
Police and Crime Commissioner, Dafydd Llywelyn, said:
“As part of my Police and Crime Plan for 2025-29, one of my priorities is to support a more effective justice system. I encourage you to take part in this survey so we can all contribute to making a positive change for victims across England Wales. Your voice matters.”
The Victim’s Survey is anonymous, takes around 15 minutes, and is open to anyone aged 16+ who has experienced crime since January 2021 - whether or not they reported it to police.
Closing date: 6th May 2026
