Child Witness Preparation:
Child Witness Preparation ProgramHas your child been sexually or physically abused? Or has your child seen this abuse? Does your child have to go to court to tell what happened?
Our Child Witness Preparation Program can help your child get ready to go to court to talk about this experience.
When can your child take part in our program?
If your child is under 18 years old and lives in the Region of Peel, the Region of Halton, or Dufferin County, your child can take part in our program
- if your child has been sexually or physically abused, or
- if he or she has seen sexual or physical abuse, and
- if your child has to go to criminal court to tell what happened.
If your child under 18 years old lives outside these areas, your child can still take part in our program if he or she has to go to a court located in Peel, Halton or Dufferin to tell about being abused or about seeing abuse.
