Joint Briefing on the Covert Human Intelligence Sources (Criminal Conduct) Bill Summary  

The Centre for Women’s Justice, End Violence Against Women, the Faith and VAWG  Coalition, FiLiA, the Latin American Women’s Rights Service, Rights of Women, Standing  Together and Women’s Aid urge peers to resist the dangerous and unfettered powers outlined  in this Bill, and to call for: 

  • Limits to the offences which can be authorised under the Bill; 

  • The introduction of a robust oversight scheme; 

  • Retained routes of redress for victim-survivors, through criminal and civil justice processes.
