To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail the organisations that were part of the co-design process for the Strategy for Victims and Survivors of the Troubles/Conflict 2024-2034.

We are delighted to have agreed the new Victims and Survivors Strategy.

The Strategy was developed in three phases, managed by an overarching Collaborative Co-Design planning group. The Executive Office (TEO), Victims and Survivors Service (VSS) and the Commission for Victims and Survivors (CVS) worked together as a Collaborative Co-Design team, holding regular meetings to share information and cross reference findings.

Throughout the development of the Strategy there has been extensive engagement with a range of stakeholders. VSS funded groups, members of the Victims and Survivors Forum and individuals with lived experience were invited to attend co-design events and get involved in working groups to inform the drafting of the new Strategy. The outputs from these events and working groups helped co-design the outcomes and actions which reflect the many complex, varied and changing needs of victims and survivors.

The following VSS funded Organisations were invited to Co-design Sessions:
