The Victim Witness Care Unit (VWCU) is part of the Defence Serious Crime Command (DSCC) and is independent of the chain of command.
The VWCU provides a central point of contact to victims and witnesses of serious crime committed by a person subject to service law in both the UK and overseas. It also offers support and guidance to victims and witnesses of serious crime, who are yet to formally report the incident to the Defence Serious Crime Unit.
Each person referred to the VWCU will be allocated a Victim Liaison Officer (VLO) who will act as a central point of contact, providing support and guidance where required, throughout their journey through the service justice system and beyond.
The VWCU works collaboratively with other agencies to provide victims and witnesses access to specialist support.
Contact the VWCU on 07974 074259 from 8am to 4pm Monday to Thursday and 8am to 3.30pm Friday. You can also email peopledscc-vwcugroup@mod.gov.uk – they aim to respond to emails within five working days.
