Episode: Intermediaries Working With The Accused S6E27
Description: In this week’s episode, we discuss the ACT Intermediary program with Laura Cilesio, senior director of the intermediary program, Vanessa (Ness) McKinley, director of the intermediary program and Sarah Cocco, senior intermediary. Laura, Ness and Sarah discuss with Mary Woodward, SPA’s Senior Advisor-Justice, about the roll out and impact of the ACT’s intermediary program.
The ACT is the first Australia jurisdiction to offer intermediary services to anyone who has come into contact with the justice system, not just victims.
