reg 309 The Armed Forces Victim Contact Scheme
If an eligible victim chooses to take part in the Armed Forces Victim Contact Scheme, the Commandant of the Military Corrective Training Centre must carry out the duties set out in this paragraph. However, the victim is entitled to the information set out in this paragraph only where there is a danger or an identified risk of harm to them : (1) assign a Military Corrective Training Centre Liaison Officer who will act as your point of contact for the scheme; (2) ensure that information is provided to the victim without unnecessary delay about the offender’s short term temporary release, re-integration leave, compassionate leave, transfer to open conditions, release on licence, community work placements or final release. The detail of the information provided is subject to the discretion of the Commandant of the Military Corrective Training Centre and information should not be provided in cases where there is an identified risk of harm to the offender which would result from the notification; (3) ensure that the victim is informed without unnecessary delay about any orders or conditions which an offender is subject to on unsupervised release which relate to the victim or the victim’s family. For example, this could include an order or condition to prevent the offender from contacting the victim; (4) ensure that the victim is informed without unnecessary delay of material changes made to any such orders or conditions and when these orders or conditions will end; (5) ensure that the victim is informed about any other information which the Commandant of the Military Corrective Training Centre considers to be appropriate in the circumstances of the case, including about key stages of the offender’s sentence, or treatment in the case of a mental health patient.
