Advocacy and the Vulnerable
Booking open
The Advocacy and the Vulnerable national training programme was developed by members of a working group headed by HHJ Rook KC in response to the Government’s September 2014 paper “Our Commitment to Victims”. Recognising and dealing appropriately with vulnerability is a skill that can be taught.
This course has been designed to ensure that all advocates, when dealing with vulnerable witnesses, understand the key principles behind the approach to and questioning of vulnerable people in the justice system.
The course is broken down into three stages:
- Online preparation
- Face-to-face course
- Consolidation Stage
Members from all Inns of Court are welcome and the course is free to attend.
