This role is significant as it serves the broader community by ensuring that justice is accessible to all, particularly those who may struggle to convey their experiences due to trauma or disability.

By providing a bridge between the court and these witnesses, you play an essential part in the judicial process, helping to uphold the rights and dignity of vulnerable individuals.

Your work will directly contribute to a fairer and more compassionate legal system in South Africa.
