The government-funded National Homicide Service commissions counselling, legal help and restorative justice.The National Homicide Service, delivered by the charity Victim Support, currently provides services only for those who are bereaved through murder or manslaughter. Justice Secretary Alex Chalk said: "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."
