Witness Support Jersey

The Witness Service was set up in Jersey in 2008 to support anyone who has to go to court as a victim or witness, regardless of whether they are a witness for the defence or prosecution.
The Witness Service in Jersey helps:
  • witnesses who are called to give evidence, including defence witnesses
  • victims of crime and their families and friends attending court for any reason
  • children as well as adults
The service provided also offers:
  • someone to talk to in confidence
  • a visit to the court to look around the courtroom before the trial
  • a DVD explaining the court process and personnel and showing how the trial will proceed
  • information on court procedures
  • a quiet place for you to wait before and during the trial
  • someone to accompany you into the court room when you give evidence
  • someone to be there afterwards to talk over what happened
  • practical help, for example with expense forms
  • to put you in touch with people who can answer specific questions about your case (the Witness Service cannot discuss evidence or offer legal advice)
  • ongoing support, even after the case is over
