Product Description:
Polly is the victim of an assault. The man she accused is arrested, and she is asked to be a witness at his trial. Polly has an intellectual disability. Supporting Victims shows how the police help her to choose the special measures she needs to give her best evidence in court. All the special measures which are now available to vulnerable people are explained in this book. For Polly, as with many people, the most important thing is that she has a voice and is believed and listened to. Having a policeman, an intermediary, Victim Support and a judge all listen to you shows how powerful your voice can be.
