Help with all types of crime

If you’ve experienced crime, you can request our support online.

How we can help

When you contact LVWS, we will:

  • give the immediate information you need and check whether your safety is at risk
  • help you decide if you need more support
  • refer you to a specialist caseworker for ongoing support, if needed.

If you are referred for ongoing support, a caseworker will:

  • contact you within three working days
  • make sure that you know how to contact them
  • give you time and space to talk about what you’ve experienced, and how it has affected different areas of your life
  • answer any questions you may have about the support we offer or the justice system
  • identify the right support for you and your circumstances
  • agree the next steps with you.

Contact us whenever you’re ready to get support.
