| Statement
from InPractice |
| InPractice
were pleased to have excerpts from their training
day, on statement writing and courtroom skills,
included in Tim Maby's report concerning witness
training. Kate Hill was interviewed by Tim
during the training day he observed and her
comments were also included in the programme.
InPractice is
still concerned that many witnesses who
receive training from other organisations
are at risk from coaching and being told
what to say, not just how to present their
evidence.
|
|
InPractice
were pleased with the comments made by the
Attorney-General on the programme but feel
that he did not go far enough. We would
still appreciate the government providing
guidance on witness training as we feel
that the professional legal bodies do not
have appropriate powers to regulate witness
training or to reprimand those who breach
the conduct rules.
