The implementation of the human rights principles of Fairness, Respect, Equality, Dignity and Autonomy for the families bereaved by road crashes.
The right of bereaved families to access the investigative documents compiled following a fatal road crash.
The recognition in all criminal law of victims injured by road crashes.
As families bereaved and victims injured in road crashes, SCID has first-hand knowledge of the difficulties in accessing information following a road crash. Finding your way through the complexities of a road crash investigation and possible criminal proceedings at a time when you are most vulnerable is candidly mind boggling.
From SCID’s experience of almost 30 years we have put together some information from the victims’ perspective, which, we hope will be of help at a time when you feel most isolated.
The Victims’ Fund is open to people affected by crime across Scotland, who are in urgent need of financial help as a result of what they have experienced. This may be especially relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic. People can access assistance worth up to �3,000, for a wide range of goods and services where they have no other access to funds.
The Victims’ Fund, which is administered by Victim Support Scotland, is open to any victim of crime who is resident in Scotland who is currently accessing victim and other support services. It is also available for people who live outside of Scotland who have been bereaved by a crime that has occurred within Scotland.
