Witness Care

Wiltshire's Witness Care Unit (WCU) acts as a single point of contact for victims and witnesses of crime, to keep them updated as their case progresses through the courts.

Staff work to ensure that victims and witnesses receive the support, protection, information and advice they need. 

It is staffed jointly by CPS and Police staff, together with volunteers from the Witness Service.
