The Criminal Evidence Act 1992 was a groundbreaking piece of legislation  for its time. It dealt with the admission of documentary evidence and also facilitated the evidence of vulnerable victims and witnesses in criminal trials.

​

It has been amended several times but most significantly and perhaps confusingly by the Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) 2017. 

​

The sections relation to vulnerable witnesses are set out over the following pages in an attempt to clarify  what is available to who and when.
