Key considerations

- Scope — Intentional injury, assault, sexual offences and other violent allegations, including detention exposure and coordination with victim civil-compensation claims.
- Immediate task — Identify the alleged conduct, custody/procedural status, injury or other evidence, and any parallel victim civil claim.
- Boundary — If another practice owns a distinct issue, use Related topics below rather than duplicating that analysis here.
Decision map
Keep the question bounded.
- Establish allegation and immediate restrictionsRecord the alleged act, parties, location and current protective, detention or no-contact measures without approaching complainants or potential witnesses.
- Preserve sensitive evidence lawfullyProtect messages, location data, medical material, video and witness information while respecting privacy, child-protection and evidence-integrity requirements.
- Coordinate urgent defence decisionsAddress interview, detention and protective proceedings promptly, then test the allegation against the evidence through counsel-led case preparation.
