We believe it is reasonable to expect victims seeking compensation from the state to fully co-operate with the criminal justice process. However, in the draft Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme 2012 we have made provision, for the first time, for claims officers at the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority to take particular account of the effect of the incident on the applicant when considering when it was reasonably practicable to have reported the offence. This consideration would include assessing the circumstances of the case and whether the delay in reporting is the direct result of the trauma caused by the incident.
