Criminal Court Proceedings / Adults' Website
If you are a parent or carer looking for information for a child or young person acting as a witness, please see the sections for Children and Young People.
This section is for adult witnesses who may be called to give evidence in a court case.
Nobody finds it easy to do something for the first time and you may be anxious about being a witness. This website will help answer some of the questions you may have and will help you understand what happens at court.
It will also tell you who can help you, what support may be available to you as a witness and provides Words and Meanings for some of the words used in court proceedings.
