Evidence resource

An accessible video and leaflet for adults giving evidence in cases of rape and sexual assault has been developed by legal researcher Dr Natalie Kyneswood, Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, Faculty of Law, University of Oxford

Dr Kyneswood said the resources, launched this week, ‘will help legal professionals and frontline services support adult complainants giving evidence to the police and at court’.

The video and leaflet have been designed with input from key stakeholders to promote informed decision-making around special measures and as an aid for frontline staff when guiding special measures conversations.
