"A Full and Candid Account": Using Special Accommodations and Testimonial Aids to Facilitate the Testimony of Children (2007)

by Alison Cunningham & Pamela Hurley. These seven concise handbooks help prosecutors, victim-support workers, judges and others understand and meet the needs of children who testify in court. The goal of these efforts is to help the witness provide complete and accurate evidence to the judge or jury. Topics covered are: overview of issues related to child testimony, testifying outside the courtroom (e.g., via CCTV), witness screens, video-recorded evidence, designated support person, hearsay evidence and children, and children and teenagers who testify in domestic violence cases. This is an initiative of the Child Witness Project undertaken with funding from the Department of Justice Canada. These handbooks are available in English and French.
