This book is about what happens when someone is accused of a crime. It will help you if you have been accused of a crime and have to go to court for a trial.

Who is this book for?
This book is for anyone who finds pictures easier to understand than words.
People with intellectual disabilities are currently the main group of people finding the book useful. In the UK we talk about someone having a ‘learning disability’, or sometimes ‘learning difficulty’. ‘Intellectual disability’ or ‘developmental disability’ are the terms that people use in other parts of the world.
Someone with an intellectual disability may find it hard to understand new or complex information and to learn new skills. They may need support to live as independently as they choose. Their condition will have started before adulthood and have a lasting impact on their life.
Having an intellectual disability does not mean that a person is not capable of understanding the advice, support or treatment they are given. Many people will be able to understand a situation more easily and make good decisions with the help of the pictures in this book. Some may benefit from just one or two well-chosen pictures. Others will need extra time and support to understand information, whether presented in simplified language or non-verbally.
People with intellectual disabilities have helped to develop each of the books in the Beyond Words series.
Other people will find the picture stories in Books Beyond Words useful too:
• people with other cognitive or communication difficulties, such as dementia
• people who have difficulty with reading, including some Deaf people
• people who do not use the language of the country where they are living.
