A voice is given to vulnerable witnesses

Published: Tue, 12 Jun 2007 15:07:19

A scheme assisting vulnerable witnesses to access the criminal justice process will be rolled out nationally, following an announcement by Minister for Justice, Gerry Sutcliffe.

Professional intermediaries help children and people with mental and physical disabilities through the various stages of the criminal justice process. They are selected for their specialist skills and experience as speech and language therapists, psychologists, teachers, health professionals and social workers and are used to help to make the justice process more accessible to some of the most vulnerable people in society.
