Doubt will be cast on the witness’s experience, notes, method of investigation and the procedures followed by them and their organisation. 

This structured Courtroom Skills – Giving Evidence training course will provide learners with the knowledge, skills and confidence to present evidence effectively. The procedures for giving evidence, the order of events, the roles of different people in the hearing, and the process of giving evidence will be explained.

In the afternoon, learners are cross-examined by a lawyer on a case study, statement or report from a completed case, based on their own area of work. Learners will receive feedback on their performance and be given tips to help improve their evidence-giving skills.
