What People Are Saying About Triangle
Please compliment Mai on the report which read well and thanks for the smooth admin.
Solicitor
Please thank Alex again for me, she did great in a really testing situation.
Detective Constable
The intermediary produced an assessment report which proved a helpful guide to the defendant’s communication needs.
Judge
Thank you very much for your report in respect of our client. We would like to take this opportunity of saying how grateful and pleased we are to receive such a full, detailed and helpful report.
Solicitor
The intermediary was very professional and extremely good at what they did and I would not hesitate in using them again. They were very helpful and have no doubt assisted in managing to get the interviewees to communicate, when if they had not been used there would have been difficulties.
Police Officer
I would like to say how impressed we are with your service from the initial contact through to assessment and report and the speed with which this has been done. The introductory letter with photographs explaining who you are and what you will do is a really nice little touch.
Solicitor
The district judge was very complimentary about the quality of Alex’s report. Please pass on the compliment. Another counsel in court was keen to know who I was using and so I gave the name of your company.
Solicitor
Just wanted to say that Caitlin was an amazing intermediary which was remarked by the defendant, his parents and case counsel. She was very professional and made the defendant feel at ease especially during the more difficult parts of his trial.
Solicitor
The judge wanted me to pass on his appreciation for how you turned around this matter so quickly and your involvement. He wanted you to know how helpful you have been and to pass on his thanks. I also want to pass on my thanks for supporting [the young person] in dealing with answering the questions.
Anonymous
I just wanted to pass on the glowing report I have had from counsel. He has been so pleased by all Jan's support and help and really feels she has made a tremendous difference to how well our client has been able to deal with the proceedings. She has been a pleasure to work with.
Solicitor
Can I first say how impressed both Counsel and I were with Rachael when she attended at court. Her assessment of [the young person] was extremely helpful.
Solicitor
I would like to thank you on behalf of both ourselves and our client. Dayle’s help and support has been invaluable.
Solicitor
Dayle is doing a brilliant job and I know that our client is relying on his support.
Solicitor
As an investigator in child protection, FQC is one of the best courses I have been on! You won't be disappointed.
DC Kim Taylor
My experience was fantastic and I can’t thank you enough for all of your help. More importantly, the child we dealt with had a very positive interaction with the police as a result of using your service and we were able to obtain information from him, which we had not been able to achieve on previous attempts. The family also praised the facility and the staff
Police Officer
The Triangle advocate was the first person to listen to my son properly.
Parent
You’ve got [my child] down to a tee. It’s the first report I’ve read that actually makes sense.
Parent
It was a real privilege to be part of it and to see, first hand, what this kind of after-trial support can do to help children. We would love to help out more on things like this so please ask again!
Head Court Security Officer
Thumbs up!
Child
On the many occasions I have worked with Triangle I never cease to be impressed by how they really get to 'know' each child, and particularly how they adapt their approach, so sensitively, to the child's individual needs.
Witness Service Volunteer
I have seen first hand how Triangle make the impossible possible - for even the most traumatised children.
Witness Service Volunteer
Triangle's unique approach enables a child 'to tell' about their experiences as a victim or witness in a calm and matter of fact way, and always in a safe and trusting environment. In my experience the preparation and engagement with other agencies both pre-trial and post trial support is both unique and simply outstanding.
Volunteer with the Witness Service
Triangle enables the vulnerable to have a voice. They are skilled experts who listen to the children they are entrusted with. Triangle fully understand how to communicate with individuals who have been through the most traumatic experiences and I have found their assistance and their guidance to be invaluable.
Circuit Judge
Please thank your intermediary for a splendid job on this case, his input and support were invaluable.
Barrister
Very confident, client-friendly and helpful.
Barrister
It was a testament to your experience and how you 'read' him.
Parent
My daughter actually talked with me as the trial went on about how much less stressful you made the whole thing for her.
Parent
It was such a relief to have someone as a guide to how it all worked and that someone was making sure he understood what was happening and what was expected of him.
Parent
Very clear comprehensive report by your intermediary.
Judge
Very helpful during legal meetings.
Barrister
Invaluable and the intermediary herself was excellent.
Barrister
I just want to say a big thank you to Triangle for the help that you gave my son while he was in court for 8 days. The intermediary was a great help and made my son feel at ease, he couldn't have coped without her. She is a very friendly lady and understood all that was going on and helped me and my partner understand what was going on in the court too. Thanks again to you and your team, you do a good job at helping young people.
Parent
Thank you so much for your tremendous support to [defendant] throughout the trial. Both counsel and I appreciate that without you she would have had no clear understanding of proceedings and would have lacked the confidence to give evidence on her own behalf. If ever there was a demonstration of the true value role of the Intermediary at court then this was it.
Solicitor
The Triangle interview of the child is overwhelmingly clear and compelling.
Judge
It is pertinent to note the care with which Triangle approached its task.
Judge
I found the approach of the interviewers to be entirely child focused and enormously helpful.
Judge
Many thanks for all your help on this Sarah, we really appreciate the effort you put in.
Detective Sergeant
I used a Truth & Lies clip at our last interview, I was really impressed by it and the children were able to understand it as they could see it and get involved rather than them getting bored half way through our ‘truth and lies’ story.
Police Officer
I am so pleased the post trial visit was a success. I am sure that was largely down to all the work you, others in the team and the witness service put into organising the day.
Judge
We would love to say a big thank you for the support given to our daughter. Triangle arranged an amazing time at the court and everything was explained to her in a very child friendly way. All her questions were answered and she came away a very happy little girl.
Parent
Tina is good at making princess hats
Child
I feel safe with Maxime.
Child
Incredibly impressed by Triangle. We all need to know how to "safely open doors" working with children and young people.
Social Worker
Triangle involve children and young people in all decision making.
Care Practitioner
Triangle know how to support disabled children. If you work with disability you won't regret checking out their resources.
Legal Representative
[Training was] really useful - can we have some more?!
Social Worker
I can not praise Amy enough for how she assisted. She quickly established a great rapport with the victim and family and this was great.
Police Officer
Many thanks again for all your help with this sexual abuse case. Without the intermediary we would have been unable to fully assess two children.
Barrister
I was most impressed by the intermediary service provided which my child found very useful.
Parent
The Barristers on this case asked me who to contact so they can express how pleased they are and thank for my services too! I told them that they just have to keep Triangle at the top of their list for intermediary services.
Barrister
My experience was fantastic and I can’t thank you enough for all of your help. More importantly, the child we dealt with had a very positive interaction with the police as a result of using your service and we were able to obtain information from him, which we had not been able to achieve on previous attempts. The family also praised the facility and the staff.
Police
It has changed the way I think about interviews and particularly assessing each individual child's needs.
Police
“The level of communication from the child was greatly supported by Lesley in what is a complex investigation. Lesley assisted with obtaining a disclosure of a criminal offence from the child which may not otherwise have been possible”
Police Officer
"Lesley was professional throughout and explained her processes to me and the family so all parties knew exactly what to expect. She was very prepared and made excellent use of numerous tools she brought with her to assist in the assessment of the child which made the process fun as well as necessary in obtaining our objectives."
Police Officer
She was an asset and gelled really well with our client (who normally takes a lot of time to develop a trusting relationship with people).
