	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2020 answer text <p>The Crown Prosecution Service understands that attending court is often an intimidating experience for all victims of crime, including victims of domestic abuse. The Crown Prosecution Service is committed to treating all victims and witnesses at court with respect and sensitivity. Victims of domestic abuse are encouraged to take part in pre-trial familiarisation visits, which can help them understand what will happen when they attend court. Additionally, the Speaking to Witnesses at Court guidance commits the prosecutor to meet the victim before they give their evidence to explain court processes and procedures and answer questions the victim may have.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 23/01/2020 13:26:51 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
