Who informs victims about emergency medical and social services and about possible restitution/relief?

• A. The Local Responsible Official
• B. The Victim Liaison
• C. The SAPR Coordinator
• D. The VWAP Liaison

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that a Local Responsible Official is the designated point of contact responsible for coordinating victim assistance at the local level. This official ensures that victims are informed about all available resources, including emergency medical care, social services, and any restitution or relief programs, and helps them navigate access to those services. While other roles provide important support and advocacy—such as guiding victims through sexual assault response pathways or the Victim/Witness Assistance Program—the formal duty to inform victims about medical, social services, and restitution options rests with the Local Responsible Official.
