Question: what has been your biggest breakthrough so far?

Hannah Fawcett answered on 30 Mar 2023:

My biggest breakthrough probably isn’t a particular research finding, but is related to how we can can influence practice. My work looks at whether jurors need more support to cope with the distressing information that they hear about in serious trials (violence, murder, gruesome images of injuries etc.). I recently had a huge breakthrough in forming a working relationship with an MP which means we have a real chance of making a difference to the government policy in this area. A real potential of finally giving jurors the mental health support they need feels like a huge breakthrough and is something I am really excited about!
