- 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
