This service delivers support specifically to individuals who have experienced a miscarriage of justice. Victims experience serious issues when they are released that can continue for a lifetime due to the trauma they experience.

Miscarriage of Justice Support Service

Clients are referred to us by the Criminal Cases Review Commission when the Commission has supported their appeal which is then heard in the Court of Appeal.

Our service then supports the client during their appeal against conviction, immediately following release and subsequently for as long as they need it.

If you have been wrongfully convicted and have had your conviction overturned by the Court of Appeal, or you are awaiting your appeal date, you can contact us yourself at mjss@rcjadvice.org.uk.

Once referred, we provide a range of advice including:

Securing accommodation
Maximising income through assisting and appealing benefit claims
Applying for National Insurance credits
Registering with a GP and accessing appropriate healthcare and counseling

Our service is free, confidential, impartial, and independent of the judicial system.
