First Minister Paul Givan said: “I am pleased to launch this recruitment competition for a new Commissioner to promote the interests of victims and survivors. This is a key and pivotal role in ensuring that the voices of victims and survivors are heard and that services are in place to meet their needs.”
As a body corporate the Commission continues in legal existence even in the absence of a Commissioner. The Chief Executive Officer of CVS has been and will continue to be responsible for the day-to-day business of the Commission until the Commissioner’s post is filled.
