answer text <p /> <p /> <p>We must do everything we can to support child witnesses and help them give their best possible evidence to bring offenders to justice.</p><p>The department does not hold data on the number of child victim and witnesses that use video links to give evidence (either a court building, or from a remote site).</p><p>The list below sets out the number of courthouses in each of the seven HMCTS Regions in England &amp; Wales; criminal justice is a devolved matter for Scotland and Northern Ireland. These facilities enable any victim or witness to appear by video link from a different court location to that of the trial court; it is also possible for third party users to access the court system through a secure bridge.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>HMCTS Region</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number of courthouses enabled for remote video link.</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Wales</p></td><td><p>22</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London</p></td><td><p>32</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South East</p></td><td><p>52</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South West</p></td><td><p>35</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Midlands</p></td><td><p>40</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North West</p></td><td><p>31</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North East</p></td><td><p>37</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>249</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table>
