Using a Supporter
Many witnesses who are feeling vulnerable may feel very isolated when giving their evidence and can sometimes be reassured by having someone sitting near them, either in the courtroom or in the television link room. This person is known as a supporter.
If the person citing you as a witness is making an application to use this special measure, you can tell them who you would like as your supporter, although the final decision will be made by the court.
