Witness Care Units
* keeping victims and witnesses informed about the case by ensuring they are contacted regularly
* keeping victims and witnesses advised of court dates
* arranging support to help victims and witnesses attend court if they have to give evidence
The Witness Care Units provide victims and witnesses attending court with a single point of contact until the court case is concluded.
Eventually every victim and witness will be contacted by a trained Witness Care Officer who will keep them informed about their case and arrange any on- going support. Your Witness Care Officer can work with you to oversome any issues or problems you may have about coming to court, ranging from childcare issues to fears of intimidation.
Norfolk Constabulary and the CPS are working together with Victim Support, Witness Services and Leeway Womens' Aid to provide a service that victims and witnesses of crime can feel confident in.
