Prosecuting Counsels' feedback drives Hendon Police Training

In January 2015 John Clifford and Robyn Murdo-Smith were approached by Police Constable Danny Phillips of the Metropolitan Police Training School at Hendon for assistance with a training course about the preparation of witness statements. Robyn and John prepared and filmed their presentation and supplied it on a DVD to Hendon in March 2015. 4_20150408_182639

Now 6 months on Danny Phillips said, "It was used as part of a training programme delivered to frontline Met Police officers to assist them with an awareness of possible pitfalls when preparing statements and giving evidence. The video proved to be a great conversation piece and was very helpful in highlighting and promoting good practice. It will be used again when we present this course in the future".
