Mrs Follett spoke about "Central Government’s Perspective on Victims and Witnesses". Other speakers included President of the Group, The Hon Richard Pleydell-Bouverie DL and Chair of Trustees, Terry Mansfield CBE.
Terry Mansfield CBE said "My job is to make the National Association of Victim Support Schemes more visible to the public during my three year period of office. Everyone has something special to say, if we only listen".
