Giving Evidence Policy

The Giving Evidence Policy provides information on producing evidence when requested by authorities. It outlines the importance of accurate record-keeping and decision-making, and the possibility of a Youth Justice NSW employee being called as a witness.

The purpose of this policy is to:

• explain the rights and responsibilities of employees when giving evidence to the court
• describe the importance of accurate record keeping and secure information sharing
• outline the legislative requirements for providing evidence
• provide information on the evidence request process
• advise on preparing an affidavit and/or statement
• identify the legal support available to employees who are asked to provide evidence
• mitigate litigation risk by providing employees with guidance on providing evidence.
