Witness Service

The Witness Service gives free support and information. This includes:

Someone to talk to confidentially about how you’re feeling before a trial

A quiet place to wait before you are called to give evidence

Information about what to expect in court including a chance to see the court beforehand and learn about the court works

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 questions you might have

A chance to talk over the case when it has ended and to get more help or information
