What happens at court?
The Court is different from other places you go to. Usually it is a place where people who have broken the law (rules) are taken to by the Police.
The Court decides what will happen to someone who has broken the law.
1 Where will I be?
A safe and secure room
There will usually be a safe and secure room for you when you come to court. You can hang out in that room and take along things to do and snacks.
Who will be with me?
You can have someone you know and trust wait with you in the room. You can bring a device, there is usually free wifi available.
2 Telling what happened in court.
First the people in the Court listen to all the people involved when someone broke the law.
If someone has broken the law by harming you, you might go to court to say what happened.
Usually, the video interview will be played to the people in the Court.
When you go to Court, you’ll have to answer questions about what you said in the video interview.
This is so the adults in the court can understand what happened.
3 Who is in the court?
