Peter Sefton has over thirty years experience of courts. He can advise on all aspects of witness training. It is important that witnesses understand;
1.what is expected of them in the witness box.
2. how they go about gathering their evidence, initially.
3. how they record and document their activities, particularly the problem of continuity of exhibits.
4. how they write up their statement.
5. how they prepare for court .
6. how they give their evidence in chief.
7. how they deal with hostile cross examination and with the judge and jury.
Our advice is particularly aimed at those who give technical evidence but it can be equally beneficial for lay people.
Group or one-to-one sessions can be arranged and practical sessions are at the core of the training.
