What is a witness?
A witness is someone who knows something important.
Maybe you saw or heard something, or something happened to you. Maybe some other people have already had a chat with you (a children's reporter, a lawyer, social worker or the police) and you’ve told them what you know.
But it's okay. What you do now is tell the people in the court what you know. This is called being a witness.
Some kids don’t know much about being a witness or going to court. Don't worry. There are lots of people who can help you
