May 27, 2019 - Ottawa, Ontario - Correctional Service Canada
The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) is pleased to announce today the launch of a Communications and Outreach Strategy to better communicate and engage with victims of federal offenders.
Activities and opportunities to improve communications and outreach have been planned over the coming year to respond to needs that victims and survivors, and their families, have voiced through previous discussions. Our aim is to improve public awareness about the information and notifications that CSC provides to registered victims, and to clarify aspects of the correctional and conditional release system. Specifically, CSC will promote the benefits of registering with CSC and the Parole Board of Canada (PBC), the information available to victims through the Victims Portal, and the benefit of submitting a victim statement.
CSC is working with federal partners, in consultation with victims and survivors, to develop new resources such as infographics, videos, a social media campaign responding to frequently asked questions, and more. Other activities, including streamlining victim-focused websites to build an online centralized resource, are also underway.
