Ayrshire Appropriate Adult service + court support
@clarincomuk
We believe that people with mental health illness and learning disability have the right to understand and be understood - 24 hour cover 365 days per year
The police are required by law to provide an appropriate adult to support communication between them and a victim, witness or accused person over 16, who has mental health challenges, learn disability, personality disorder or other factors incl brain injury, cognitive impairment.
Clarity in Communication provides a 24 hour call out service in Ayrshire supporting people in courts and at police stations who are accused or victims /witnesses of crimes. Its a busy Monday today....

Its been 8 years since CIC began offering AA support in Ayrshire, and court support throughout Scotland, and what a journey its been! We now have 12 AA's and last month our response time was only 38 minutes!
