Stands for
ABE — Achieving Best Evidence — the standard for interviewing vulnerable witnesses.
How it works in KallosSim
- In practice language — Achieving Best Evidence — the standard for interviewing vulnerable witnesses.
- What it means — Achieving Best Evidence (ABE) guidance sets expectations for planning and conducting video-recorded interviews with vulnerable or intimidated witnesses. A Registered Intermediary may advise on question form, pacing, breaks, and communication aids before and during the interview. ABE planning is distinct from a Children Act assessment — the purpose is best evidence for criminal proceedings, not family-help planning.
- In KallosSim — Cases and formative debriefs may reference this concept when your sector pack and card selections call for it.
Training only. Fictional AI-generated cases only — not legal advice, not live decision support, not a substitute for supervision.
What it is not
- A substitute for reading primary statute or your organisation’s procedures.
- Competence assessment, ASYE sign-off, or Bar / SRA / CIPD accreditation.
- Advice for a live family, employee, client, or court matter.
