Coroners' Courts Support Service

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will make it his policy to provide long-term core funding for the Coroners' Courts Support Service; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

The Coroners’ Courts Support Service which recruits and trains volunteers who support families and witnesses as they engage with the coronial process, covers around half of the coroner areas. The Government recognises the good work Coroners’ Courts Support Service offers to bereaved families but extending support services, such as the Coroners Courts Support Service, to all 85 coroner areas remains subject to affordability.
