Product Information
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 learning disabilities. 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. In the Books Beyond Words series the story is told through pictures only. The books are for adults with learning disabilities, but are useful for anyone with communication difficulties. Additional information as text, plus guidance on how to use, is also given.Product Identifiers
