Tips for witnesses

A checklist of tips for witnesses and their statements.

  • Make sure that you are happy with your witness statement. Remember that you will give this evidence on oath – if you are not satisfied that it is the truth or you feel uncomfortable, do not agree to it.
  • Make sure you are familiar with your statement – practice reading it out loud before the hearing.
  • Familiarise yourself with the bundle, particularly documents that you wrote or saw at the time.
