PACT Support for Adults

PACT’s adult victim and witness support program provides impartial, empathetic and court approved support for adults who are required to give evidence in criminal courts, either as victims of, or witnesses to, a crime.

The entire process from arrest to trial can take 6 months to more than 2 years and along the way there will often be unexpected delays.

Our justice system is designed to ensure fairness – innocent until proven guilty – and this is an essential part of our country’s identity. But, this doesn’t make it any less frustrating for victims, witnesses and their families who are going through the justice journey.

This is why PACT exists! We have an important role to play in supporting victims and witnesses step-by-step through the entire process.
