After giving your evidence, your role as a witness is ended and you’re free to leave the court. Alternatively, you can:

  • Return to the witness waiting area to speak to a Witness Service supporter if you need to talk about what you’ve just experienced or need support.
  • Watch the rest of the trial from the public gallery, if this applies to your case.

It’s important not to talk to any other witnesses involved with the case about anything you said or heard in the courtroom, or the public gallery if you choose to watch further evidence being given. This also means not posting about the case on social media or discussing the case during breaks.
