<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>
