ABSTRACT
If a juvenile aged 14 or under is to testify as a witness (not a defendant), the court may give permission for her to do so via a live television link (s 32 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988). The case must involve either: • an assault on, or injury or threat of injury to a person (not necessarily the
witness in question or another juvenile); or • a specified offence involving cruelty to, or sexual misconduct with,
juveniles (again not necessarily the witness in question).
