Pre-Trial Conditions: Online Training
October 14, 2022
The term ‘pre-trial’ therapy refers to therapy in which the client has an open police investigation that may lead to a criminal trial. Following pre-trial therapy guidelines is essential when supporting clients, so as to not adversely affect the outcome of their court case.
Public discourse around sexual and domestic violence, such as the #MeToo movement, has led to an increase in reports to the police and involvement in the criminal justice system. An awareness of pre-trial therapy guidance has never been more relevant to therapists and professionals supporting vulnerable people.
Learning Objectives:
- To explore key issues related to supporting pre-trial clients
- To increase understanding of the criminal justice system, in relation to vulnerable witnesses
- To challenge misconceptions that can create barriers for pre-trial clients
- To share tools and techniques to help us work more effectively with pre-trial clients
Who is this course for?
Any counsellor/psychotherapist or professional working in a support role, particularly where clients are likely to be involved in the criminal justice system. Essential for those supporting survivors of sexual or domestic violence.
