Provide protection and support for individuals falsely accused of serious crimes

Individuals who are falsely accused of serious crimes often face severe consequences despite not being convicted of any offence. While investigations are necessary, there are currently limited safeguards to protect the livelihoods and wellbeing of those who are later found to be innocent or where no charges are brought. The presumption of innocence is a fundamental principle of justice, yet we believe false accusations can effectively punish individuals without due process.
