Pre-recorded evidence
Pre-recorded evidence report on victims experience of court
A report released last week by the Ministry of Justice provides findings from a process evaluation of the implementation of pre-recorded evidence for intimidated witnesses, including survivors of rape and modern slavery.
Through the measure, it's intended that the recording can be presented during the trial without the witness needing to attend and experience fear or distress about testifying.
