Prosecutors and DCI trained on handling and presenting Electronic evidence in court proceedings

Prosecutors and the DCI Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Protection Unit (AHTCPU) through support from Lawyers Without Borders (LWOB), underwent a two-day training session aimed at addressing the challenges and opportunities that come with presenting electronic and digital evidence in court proceedings.

The session focused on child justice and the use of the child friendly interview room, an ODPP pioneering initiative aimed at facilitating child friendly interviews using technology to pre-record evidence of child victims, thereby minimizing revictimization and retraumatization of child victims.

The team was also taken through the concept of Team Synergy, psychological safety in interagency collaboration as well as how to build effective teams in diverse and stressful situations.
