Roads: Accidents
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what support is available to victims of road traffic collisions involving animals where no human fatality occurs; and whether he plans to review existing support mechanisms for people who are affected.
- Answer
-
Where a road traffic offence is criminal, those affected by the offence can expect to receive the services set out in the Victims’ Code.
The Victim’s Code is a practical statutory guide for victims of crime, including victims of road traffic offences, to understand what they can expect from the criminal justice system, and outlines the minimum level of service they should receive.
The Ministry of Justice is the lead government department for the Victim’s Code and has committed to undertaking a review of it.
