Overview
Where ever they are located, Tellemachus Liberty Services allow remote, unwell, house bound or intimidated witnesses to deliver their witness evidence into court without the need to travel.
Using Tellemachus expertise in wireless communications and providing voice, video and data communications in the most challenging of circumstances, means that we are able to work together with Crown Prosecution Services and Witness Protection Programmes anywhere in the UK, to allow witnesses to video conference their evidence into the court. We can do this using a range of communications infrastructures and without the need for either ISDN or Broadband services being available at the witness location.
We will carry out pre-assessment of the location in advance of the court date.
On the day of the hearing we will arrange for our engineers to visit the witness location at the time of the court hearing. Setting up of our equipment is usually carried out within an hour and we will work sympathetically together with the Courts Witness Officers, the Court Usher Services along with other organisations present to ensure that the witness can deliver their evidence in as comfortable environment as possible.
