Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) Bill: Discussion
10:00 am
Ms Mary Nicholson:
On the training issue, specialised training in relation to children is important. Another important issue is joint interviews. I know joint interviews take place in cases involving sexual abuse. It is important there would also be a joint interview in cases involving child protection such that no child would have to go through the process multiple times.
