Westbridge / Conversation preparation note
Make the context clear
When contacting the team about a criminal matter, a short account of the current stage helps establish the context. Mention whether there is an investigation, correspondence or proceedings already underway.
Identify any upcoming dates and the support you want to discuss. The website form does not provide immediate attendance or emergency support.
Questions to bring
- What stage has the matter reached?
- Are there any upcoming appointments or court dates?
- What documents have you received?
Keep detailed information for the appropriate conversation
An initial online message should avoid a detailed account of allegations or sensitive evidence. Ask the team how to arrange an appropriate conversation and provide documents securely.
The scope and availability of support need to be discussed with the team in light of the circumstances.
