Thank you very much for the question.
I think it is always important to have more information as opposed to less, and to have a sense of how our systems are working and not working for survivors. I think that having an ombudsperson who is able to do that sort of work in assessing the systems is very important.
I would just go back to the point that whatever approaches are taken to respond to violence, they need to be survivor-centred. We need to ensure that survivors are informed about their options: that they have agency, that they have choice and that we expand those options.
I do think that the ombudsperson's work could be very supportive of that.
Thank you for the question.
