If you are a victim of crime support is available.

Welcome to Crime Victims Helpline, a National Helpline which offers support to victims of crime in Ireland. Established in 2005 our aim is to support, inform and empower victims of crime and all those affected by crime.

Our trained volunteers take calls from Monday 10.00 a.m. to 7.30 p.m., Tuesday to Friday 10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. and Saturday 2.00 p.m. to 4.00 p.m. Outside those hours if you leave a message asking us to contact you we will do so promptly.

While we cooperate closely with An Garda Siochana we are a separate and independent Helpline, and all calls to our line are confidential.

The Commission for the Support of Victims of Crime was established in March 2005 with a three year remit to devise an appropriate support framework for victims of crime into the future, and to disburse funding for victim support and assistance measures.   Crime Victims Helpline is one of several organisations funded by the Commission and is supported by the Commission as a central point of contact for all victims of crime.
