- Speech pathologists,
- Psychologists,
- Occupational therapists,
- Social workers, or
- Other people with qualifications or appropriate skills in working with children or people with communication needs.
Witness intermediaries work alongside police, lawyers and judges to ensure that children and vulnerable witnesses are supported to communicate their best evidence.
