Supporting professionals who address communication barriers in justice contexts around the world.
Many children and adults experience significant barriers to effective communication in justice contexts. This can occur in police interviews, court appearances and trials, family group conferences, restorative justice meetings, and parole board hearings.
These professionals are known by different names around the world, for example communications assistants, justice intermediaries, and communication support specialists.
A group of these professionals has formed the International Intermediary Forum. We meet virtually several times a year to network and share knowledge, skills, and resources to support our work and the people we serve.
We hold an open annual meeting, usually in October.
Information about participation will be shared nearer the time.
More information about the work of intermediaries
around the world will be added over time.
