You will no doubt be aware that Part 2 of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 contains a range of special measures designed to help young, disabled, vulnerable or intimidated witnesses give their best evidence in criminal proceedings in the Crown Court. The special measures to be provided by the courts include:

• allowing as witnesses' evidence-in-chief a video-recorded interview with the witness; and,
• allowing as evidence pre-recorded videoed cross-examination.

The Criminal Justice Act 2003 extended special measures to the Magistrates Court and Court of Appeal.

In cases where there are video interviews that are served as unused material it is usually essential to have those videos transcribed to ensure that all evidence is covered.
