Victim personal statements
Experiencing crime can affect you in different ways, be it emotionally, physically, mentally or financially.
A victim personal statement (VPS) gives you the opportunity to explain in your own words the impact the crime has had on you and your family. It will be taken into account by all criminal justice agencies involved in the case and it can play a key part in sentencing.
More information can be found below. Alternatively you can sign up for a free personalised account on My Support Space – an online resource containing interactive guides including information and tips on writing your VPS.
