The Victims’ Commissioner has launched the 2026 Victims’ Survey 📊 in partnership with TONIC.
This national survey gives people affected by crime the opportunity to share their experiences of the criminal justice system and victim support services. It is anonymous, takes around 15 minutes, and is open to anyone aged 16+ who has experienced crime in the past 5 years – whether or not it was reported.
Your feedback helps identify what is working well and where improvements are needed to better support victims across England and Wales 💬
