Support to Victims and Witnesses
360 degree interactive guides on the layout of Crown Court and Magistrates Court courtrooms are available on the Victim Support NI webpage.
The Victim Support Northern Ireland (VSNI), the National Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) and the Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service recognise that each has a role to play in supporting witnesses who come to court. The three agencies have been working in partnership for some time to support victims and witnesses in Northern Ireland.
