A new national support hub has been launched for victims and survivors of terrorism, with ministers saying it will provide a single route into specialist, trauma-informed care. The Home Office said the hub would be available around the clock for anyone affected by a terrorist incident.
The service will provide emotional and practical support, dedicated caseworkers and personalised recovery plans. It will be delivered through a partnership involving Victim Support, the Peace Collective and West London NHS Trust, bringing together practical assistance and clinical expertise.
Security Minister Dan Jarvis said victims and survivors had too often had to navigate fragmented services. The launch comes ahead of the UK’s first national day for victims and survivors of terrorism, which will be marked later this summer.
