Here's what some of our students told us.
     
 
A five day course designed to enable a broad range of investigators to obtain statements by means of a video tape recording in accordance with the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999.


The Act states that victims or witnesses in following categories should/must have statements taken by means of video:

  • Child witnesses
  • Witnesses or victims who have been intimidated or are in fear
  • Those with learning or physical disabilities
  • Victims of sexual assault
The course is intended for police officers, social workers, legal professionals, health workers and others.

Students will receive Home Office manuals and a certificate of competence. Because of the statutory requirement to protect vulnerable victims and witnesses, this is a pass/fail course. Individual reports will be written for students’ line managers.
