12 - Local and Holistic Support for Survivors
from Part III
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 November 2022
Summary
Survivors need support when preparing and submitting redress applications; they need help through (often protracted) assessment processes, and assistance when they receive payments. Good support is necessary to survivors and to the effectiveness of any redress programme. The chapter first explores how local community agencies support survivors. This investigation encompasses the roles of survivors and offenders in providing support. I then look at how to provide survivors with professional services. While survivors should have real choices where they get support, this chapter stresses the advantages of providing holistic support through local community agencies.
