Victims and Witnesses

However, we do know that being a witness in Court can be a daunting experience.

In order to support you each local Crown Prosecution Service team, together with their local police force has a dedicated witness care unit, dedicated to supporting witnesses through what can be a difficult time.

You can find more accessible information about being a witness in court and the support available for victims and witnesses on our national website.
