You might be able to claim compensation if you were the victim of a violent crime. The crime must have happened in England, Wales or Scotland and it must be reported to the police.
Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA), deal with compensation claims from people who have been physically or mentally injured because they were the victim of a violent crime in England, Scotland or Wales.
To find out more or to contact CICA, visit their website.
Whilst Norfolk & Suffolk Victim Care can help guide and inform on the process of compensation, our caseworkers cannot complete a compensation claim on behalf of the individual.
If you know someone – whether it’s a friend or a family member – who has been impacted by crime and could benefit from our support, you can refer them directly to our services.
Our compassionate and confidential support is available to anyone in your life who has been affected, ensuring they receive the care and guidance they deserve.
If you think you have been a victim of a crime and want to report a crime, you can tell a parent, carer or adult you trust. Norfolk & Suffolk Victim Care can also help you with this if you are unsure.
