The Commission for Victims and Survivors works to promote the interests of victims and survivors of the Northern Ireland Conflict.

We carry out research to assess the needs of those most impacted by the Troubles and use this as an evidence base to advise government on policy and practice. We do this to improve the lives and experiences of those who have been impacted by the Northern Ireland conflict and we ensure their voice is central to the advice we give. This work is a Statutory Duty of ours, outlined in law through The Victims and Survivors (Northern Ireland) Order 2006. The functions of the Commission are carried out by 12 members of staff. Find out more about what we do at www.cvsni.org.

Legacy legislation must deliver for victims and survivors in ROI, Commissioner warns as research reveals lasting impact of Troubles/conflict. New research published by the Commission for Victims and Survivors highlights the continuing impact of the Troubles/conflict on people living in the Republic of Ireland (ROI), and strong public support for greater recognition, acknowledgement and access to services.

Behind every debate about the Troubles Bill are people whose lives have been changed forever.

Families living with loss. Victims & Survivors carrying the impact of injury and trauma. Generations still searching for answers.

As attention turns to the latest amendments to the Troubles Bill, we must not lose sight of the people who will live with the consequences of the decisions made in Parliament.

For victims and survivors, this is not simply a legislative debate. It is about their lives, their experiences, their needs and their future.

Their voices must remain at the heart of the conversation.

Take a few minutes to hear directly from victims and survivors about why this matters — today and for generations to come.
