Adults’ reflective accounts of testifying or seeing a child in UK courts
05 June 2020
Adults (18+) who testified in a UK court as a child or witnessed a child testify in a UK court, we would like to hear from you to better understand children in the justice system.
After consenting to take part, you will be asked to write reflections about different aspects of your experience via seven secure online forms, which you can complete together, over a few days or one each day.
You would be reimbursed £15 for your time and be entered into a £100 draw for one person at the end.
