Extra support is being provided for Derbyshire victims who are affected by, or concerned about, the Governments early prison release arrangements. 

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire has been awarded £195,000 from the Ministry of Justice to help provide additional capacity within local victim support services over the next two-and-a-half years. 

The funding will be used to uplift Derbyshire Victim Services, delivered by Remedi: Restorative Services to work with victims affected. 

The Government is introducing changes to prison release arrangements through the Sentencing Act 2026 to help ensure there is sufficient prison capacity, while maintaining robust supervision of offenders on release to protect victims and the wider public. 

The additional funding will help ensure Derbyshire Victim Services can continue to provide support, information and practical assistance to victims of crime who may be impacted by these changes. 

Anyone affected by crime in Derbyshire can access free, confidential support through Derbyshire Victim Services, regardless of whether the crime has been reported to the police.
