Victim Support Isle of Man

Witness Service

Our Witness Service provides confidential support for anyone involved in the criminal justice process as a witness. We help you understand what to expect, feel prepared, and cope with the experience.

Victim Support IOM

Crime and trauma can affect people from all walks of life, and no two experiences are the same. We’re here to give you the support, clarity and space you need to move forward – privately, respectfully, without judgement, at your pace.

How We Help

We provide confidential, practical, and emotional support to witnesses throughout the criminal justice process:

  • Explain the process so you know what to expect
  • Offer emotional support before, during, and after giving evidence
  • Arrange a pre-trial court visit
  • Provide practical guidance on attending court or meetings
  • Connect you with additional services if needed
  • Focus on your wellbeing and safety at all times

You decide what you want — we are here to support you through each step.
