The first of two new remote video link centres that can connect to Northamptonshire and UK-based courts has been used for the first time to allow a vulnerable witnesses to give evidence away from a court building.
The remote links are one of a number of measures to help reduce anxiety, trauma and stress for some of the most vulnerable witnesses in the county.
The new remote links – one based in central Northampton and the other in North Northamptonshire – have been made possible through funding from Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner, Stephen Mold, and are another step towards ensuring that victims and witnesses are at the heart of the criminal justice system.
