The Children's Coalition: Report Stage, Victims and Prisoners Bill Parliamentary briefing

This briefing sets out four ways in which the Victims and Prisoners Bill can better recognise, support, and hold relevant agencies to account for their treatment of child victims and survivors of abuse and exploitation. 

To better protect and support child victims and survivors, the Bill must:

• Specify support for children under the duty to collaborate guidance
• Create a transparent and accountable justice system 
• Establish 'victim support roles' for children
• Recognise children who have experienced criminal exploitation as victims
