Seminar Right to Quality Services | Lisbon | September 18th 2014

The Seminar "Right to Quality Services" will be held in Lisbon, at the Hotel Fénix Lisboa, on the 18th of September 2014.

Every person reacts differently in the aftermath of a criminal offense. While some victims are able to move on with their lives fairly unaffected, others feel greatly impacted and have difficulty coping with the consequences of the ordeal they've endured.

In addition, many victims of crime are still unaware of their rights even of their right to access to quality services.

Seminar Right to Quality Services will be a valuable opportunity to gather several experts on the arena of victims' rights and support, whom will offer their perspectives on cross cutting issues related with:

- the assessment of victim' specific needs;

- qualified police assistance;

- the compared experience of victim support in Europe;

- the importance of certified quality support in the third sector;

- amongst others.

This event is organised within Project "Right to Quality Services for Victims of Crime" (2012-2014), promoted by the Portuguese Association for Victim Support and co-financed by the European Commission under the Criminal Justice Programme of the European Union. Project Rigth to Quality Services for Victims of Crime is developed in partnership with Victim Support Scotland, Weisser Ring Germany, University of Tilburg - INTERVICT (The Netherlands) and Institut d'Aide aux Victimes et de Médiation (INAVEM) (France).
