To achieve this Vision, VSE’s mission is to drive change on victims’ issues and support of the delivery of victims’ services whilst operating sustainably and growing our capability.
Our Values
RESPECT AND COMPASSION
We work with dignity, respect and compassion for others. We strive to ensure victims are treated, without judgement, but with respect and compassion. We work to ensure that victims’ rights, including their human rights, are respected, protected and fulfilled.
COMMITMENT
At the heart of our work is our commitment to victims. It drives us and our members to deliver more and better rights and services. It reflects our belief that no matter how difficult the issues or our operating environment, we will always strive to achieve a Europe where victims’ needs are met. To achieve results, VSE believes in working in collaboration with and through our community of members, stakeholders, policy makers, practitioners and victims.
COLLABORATION AND COMMUNITY
Our strength lies in our members. Through this community of organisations and individuals, VSE increases its authority and influence. Our success is also founded on our co-operation with a wide spectrum of other organisations. Victims issues cut across all social groups, relate to all aspects of peoples’ lives, and don’t have geographical boundaries. Only together can we achieve change in all areas that affect victims of crime.
