Part 2 - Giving Evidence - Witness Familiarisation Reviews

I found the Giving Evidence – Witness Familiarisation training very informative and beneficial to my role. The session provided clear guidance on the expectations when giving evidence, and the courtroom role‑play exercise was particularly valuable. It helped reinforce the practical skills required when presenting evidence, responding to questions, and maintaining confidence under cross‑examination. Overall, the training was engaging, well‑structured, and has improved my understanding of courtroom procedures and my preparedness for giving evidence.

Very interesting and insightful.

Could have had explained and use the manual materials more.

Andria really was able to read the room and deliver training.

Only issue is that the final day having multiple people go over the court room scenario again and again and is a little repetitious and you don't learn that much after the first few. Obviously it's good for each individual to practice getting questioned though

I think some training material would be helpful rather than just using the manual.

I found this section to be more practical which suites my learning style

Great course, very engaging!

Hard to get examples of what we might be called to court for but good overall view of processes and procedures

Geraint is an interesting person which made it easy to pay attention. There was a slight lack in structure with no PP etc. However, this is not neccessarily a negative point as most training is now deemed as 'death by PP' .Geraint was able to create a relaxed environment with audience participation, which made it helpful to retain the information. A summary at the end of training would have been great with reflection on the questions that were asked but I'm aware that time was not on our side due to starting the training late, which was no fault of Geraints. I look forward to the next session and hope that the training is offered to the wider workforce is due course.
