JUSTICE Secretary Kenny MacAskill will today urge those involved in the justice system to "play their part" in making sure vulnerable witnesses receive proper support to give their best evidence.
Mr MacAskill will make the call while hosting a conference for solicitors, sheriffs, social workers and police to discuss the implementation of the Vulnerable Witnesses Act.

The act, which was completed on 1 April, will cover witnesses in the High Court; sheriff courts' solemn and summary proceedings; children's hearings' court proceedings; and other civil proceedings in the Court of Session and sheriff courts.
