When you arrive at court, you’ll go through security and then wait until you’re called to give your evidence.

If you’re a vulnerable or intimidated witness, the Witness Service may arrange a separate entrance and a private waiting area. A Witness Service supporter will be available to stay with you, explain the court process, and answer any questions – but they will not discuss your evidence or details of the trial with you.
