Office of the Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime Systemic Review Process

• The Office of the Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime (OFOVC) defines a systemic issue as:
• An issue that currently impacts negatively on victims of crime, and if not identified and appropriately addressed, has the potential to continue to negatively impact victims.
• In reviewing a systemic issue, OFOVC follows a consistent and clear process that honours the Ombudsman principles of fairness and neutrality.
