The Witness
Service provides practical and emotional support and information to witnesses
so that they feel valued, respected and informed and able to give their best
evidence in court.
Main duties
and responsibilities include meeting witnesses away from the court environment,
either at their home or other agreed safe place, to assess their needs and
provide support. Together with the witness, and where appropriate their carer/
support worker/ parent/ guardian, develop a tailored plan of preparation and
support.
The purpose
of this preparation and support is to help reduce their anxiety and trauma and
enable them to give their best evidence. Training and support will be provided. For ffurther information, contact Mantell Gwynedd on 01286 672626 or volunteer@mantellgwynedd.com
