This report endeavours to consider how a more victim-centred, collaborative approach can be adopted between the various legal processes, while being all the time cognisant of the rights of the alleged perpetrator in the criminal and civil processes alike. The adoption of such an approach should serve to enhance not simply the victim’s experience as she or he navigates the various processes, but also the outcomes at the conclusion of those same processes, in the sense that decisions will thereafter be based upon the best possible evidence.
