<p>The Ministry of Justice responded to the Victims’ Commissioner’s comprehensive
review of the provision of Registered Intermediaries, making these commitments: to
review governance of the Witness Intermediary Scheme; to consider whether to appoint
a National Lead Registered Intermediary; to publish an annual report; and to promote
the role of Registered Intermediaries.</p><p>The department have delivered on these
commitments and introduced improvements to governance, including the introduction
of Regional Coordinator roles for exceptional Registered Intermediaries – which are
more appropriate for the scheme than a National Lead. An annual report is due to be
published in the summer, the scheme now has a page on Gov.uk and work is ongoing to
promote the role of Registered Intermediaries.</p>
