Alex has announced that bereaved families and eyewitnesses of homicide or major criminal incidents like the Manchester Arena bombing will receive a new package of support.
The Homicide Service - which provides emotional and practical support to families bereaved by murder or manslaughter - will be extended to those who witness a homicide or major criminal incident across England and Wales.
Alex said:
"The Homicide Service provides vital support to the families of victims under the worst of circumstances – ensuring they have the emotional and practical help they need to cope with their loss.
"By expanding the service to include eyewitnesses and bereaved families of major incidents across England and Wales thousands more people will be able to access the support they need as early as possible."
