Details
The government’s response to the consultation Getting it Right for Victims and Witnesses in July 2012 stated that the MOJ would retain responsibility for commissioning certain vitally important specialist services – such as support for those bereaved through homicide.
MOJ therefore ran a competed grant award competition to ensure there was no break in that support when the grant agreement with Victim Support to run the homicide service ran out on 30 September 2014. Victim Support was awarded the grant to operate the new service from 1 October 2014. This is the associated grant agreement, but here redacted for commercial and privacy sensitivities, and therefore not containing any fully redacted supporting documents that form part of the agreement. Those documents are:
- letters of reference
- letters from commissioned organisations setting out details of their working agreements with Victim Support
- internal Victim Support policy documents
- details of transition planning and of contingency and operational /delivery arrangements
- expenditure schedule
Schedule 5 Exit Plan will follow once complete in accordance with Clause 19.
The agreement was formally signed by the Victim Support chief executive and MOJ’s deputy director of victim, witness and criminal justice delivery.
