Stands for
RI — MoJ-approved communication specialist for vulnerable witnesses — primary duty to the court.
How it works in KallosSim
- In practice language — MoJ-approved communication specialist for vulnerable witnesses — primary duty to the court.
- What it means — Registered Intermediaries are appointed under the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 via the MoJ Witness Intermediary Scheme. Their role is to facilitate communication between a vulnerable witness and the justice system — not to investigate, coach testimony, or act as an advocate for one party. The RI assesses communication needs, advises on questioning style, supports Achieving Best Evidence interviews, and informs Ground Rules Hearings. In KallosSim, RI practice uses criminal-justice process stages (request → assessment → ABE → Ground Rules → trial), not children's safeguarding referral pathways.
- In KallosSim — Cases and formative debriefs may reference this concept when your sector pack and card selections call for it.
