Witness Support England & Wales |
|
The Witness Service (provided by Victim Support) in England & Wales can give you:
- someone to talk to confidentially, about how you're feeling before a trial
- information about what to expect in court, including a chance to see the court beforehand and learn about court procedures
- a quiet place to wait before you are called to give evidence
- someone to go with you into the courtroom if you want, to help you feel more at-ease
- practical help (for example with claiming your expenses)
- easier access to people, such as court staff, who can answer specific questions about the case
- a chance to talk over the case when it has ended and to get more help or information
Like the rest of Victim Support, the Witness Service is free and independent of the police or courts.
