Supporting witnesses through serious incidents and hearings
Supporting witnesses through serious incidents and hearings
In this video Sion Davies, Legal Director and Dr Claire Bullen-Foster, Consultant Clinical Psychologist discuss how organisations can proactively assist staff by easing their anxiety, immediately post-incident, during the investigation process, at pre-meetings and at the hearing itself – with particular focus on the inquest process.
Sion talks from his experience of taking many cases to trial and through representing many organisations at inquest, whilst Claire provides a clinical insight, in addition to her own experiences as a witness.
Anxiety and trepidation are customary feelings ahead of a hearing – is your organisation doing all it can, for the benefit of its employees, to reduce that apprehension?
Both Sion and Dr Bullen-Foster are available should you have any questions. Sion can be reached here, and Dr Bullen-Foster can be reached here.
