Synopsis

The justice system is on a journey to improve effective participation of victims, witnesses, suspects and defendants who are deemed vulnerable and struggle with communicating in the police stations and in court. Read this book if • you think communication is important in our justice system; • you want to know more about how vulnerability is recognised and considered in our courts; • you wonder what it is like to sit in a crown court dock and not understand what is happening; • you care about vulnerable victims of sexual crimes being treated sensitively; • you would like to know more about Registered Intermediaries in the Justice System. Paula Backen is currently working as a Registered Intermediary with witnesses in the criminal courts, and as a non-Registered Intermediary with defendants and suspects in the criminal courts, parents in the family courts, and in Ministry of Defence cases. She travels the length and breadth of England and Wales, and occasionally Northern Ireland. She has presented at conference for the Family Law Bar Association, guest lectured to magistrates, judges, legal advisors and police across the country and contributed to The Advocates Gateway Toolkits. In this book, the first written by an Intermediary about this relatively new profession, Paula describes her experiences and those of the vulnerable people she has met.
