## Description
The court/ remote site environment currently attended by people affected by crime is not trauma informed. They are told when to attend, where to go and how they will give evidence.  For many people affected by crime attending court and providing evidence can be more traumatic than the crime itself. This trauma can impede their ability to give their best evidence.  The challenge can be met by utilising technology to prepare people who have to go through the court room experience as victims and/or witnesses, and reduce so the impact of giving evidence during a criminal trial.
