520 _aThis article discusses the implementation of video legislation for child witnesses in New Zealand and compares the author's experiences with its use in England and Wales. The author examines the practice of using closed circuit television within the courtroom where children are appearing as child sexual abuse witnesses and discusses how 'specialist' or 'evidential' interviewers need to maintain a set of guidelines for interview practices. The article highlights the importance of the "Memorandum of Good Practice: On Video Recorded Interviews With Child Witnesses for Criminal Proceedings" (1992), which was developed as a protocol document for practitioners by the UK Home Office. The "Memorandum" suggests minimum standards for all aspects of interviewing, including training criteria, interview conduct, techniques in questioning, and legal requirements. The author examines the debate the "Memorandum" has created in video versus court reforms and offers suggestions for improvements in New Zealand's video legislation.
