Preparation of witness statement for court 

Following the pre-court interview and PACE caution attendance is monitored for 15 school days, if further unauthorised absence is recorded a Final Notice is issued by the Local Authority.  AES will prepare a statement in compliance with section 9 of the Criminal Justice Act 1947 to be served at the court hearing.  This will be submitted to the Local Authority together with exhibits and an attendance certificate in order that a summons can be issued.
