You may prefer to be represented by another person e.g. a solicitor, an elected representative, a community group, or some other organisation. You are perfectly entitled to be so represented.

However, at some point, we may require to take a statement from you personally. In that instance, you can, if you wish, be accompanied either by a friend or a representative.

If necessary we can arrange for an interpreter to be present to assist. If you are under 16 years of age you will be interviewed with a parent or other responsible adult present.
