The Office of Durham Police, Crime & Victims’ Commissioner held a conference on Tuesday to launch the Intermediaries for Justice resource packs available to all witnesses and victims within the Criminal Justice System.

Intermediaries for Justice have developed a booklet which is available to download to help with victim personal statements (VPS). They are clear and easy to follow and can help eliminate the impact of talking about a traumatic event in court. Other resources have been developed to help witnesses understand the process of the court they are to attend. Along with external and internal pictures of the specific courts there is an explanation of who’s who and legal jargon explained.

Catherine O’Neil, Chair of Intermediaries for Justice spoke at the event stating …..

Steve White, Acting Police Crime & Victims’ Commissioner said “It has been a great event, bringing different organisations together to launch the new resources that will be used time and time again and help so many people.”

Possibly need to state where these will be available from

Event organiser, Jeanne Trotter, Criminal Justice Lead for the Office of Durham Police, Crime & Victims’ Commissioner said “These resources are really well produced. They are so informative and will help elevate some of the unknown for victims and witnesses who need to attend court. Making them available to all organisations will benefit so many”.
