Social Scripts

Social Scripts

The ACTDPP has created a series of social scripts about how to get to Court, giving evidence and attending our office for meetings.

Social scripts are person centred narratives to introduce new events, interactions and what to expect in situations. They use a combination of simple text and images to explain concepts and foreshadow emotions.

The DPP’s social scripts aim to assist autistic people, people with lived experience of mental ill health and low levels of English literacy to access government legal agencies and legal processes.

Due to the content of these scripts, they are available through requesting access via DPP_WA@act.gov.au. Alternatively, please call our switch on 02 6207 5399 and request to speak with the Witness Assistance Team.
