Lord Advocate's Guidelines - Providing Information on Vulnerable Adult Witnesses - March 2007 [Guidance]

For many witnesses, contact with the criminal justice system is not a matter of choice, comes at a time of great stress in their lives, and is a process that is alien to them. Giving a statement, and perhaps eventually giving evidence at court, can be difficult and stressful. Individual witnesses have different needs. It is the responsibility of those in the criminal justice system to recognise and seek to meet those needs, and to assist the witness to give their best evidence.
