Welcome to the interactive guide for witnesses

Witnesses play a vital part in our justice system. It is not unusual for people to feel anxious about giving evidence in court. Whether you are a witness for the prosecution or for the defence, we hope this interactive guide will help you to understand the process. It explains the role of the witness at each stage and shows the many kinds of support that are available to you.
