Posted By John Doe I'm looking into creating a 'one-size-fits-all' form for victims, witnesses etc. - we get statements submitted in all sorts of formats (customised departmental forms, scraps of paper, the lot). Great that we get them at all but we need to try and get all the key facts, all the time. Hoping to save time chasing people for info well after the event. I'm leaning towards a single sheet of A4 (with the option to attach further sheets). Front for the personal details/statement and the back to feature some guidance notes on the 'who, what, where, how' of it all rather than specific questions to answer. Of course, it needs to be user-friendly from the Chief Exec down to the lowest of the low (me?). Anything spring to mind in the 'dos and don'ts' category? Cheers

Posted By Glyn Atkinson Yuor liability insurers will have their own form already for you to fill in and will be in a format to cover all situations that they give you cover on their policy - it also saves having to transfer information that they insist goes on their forms. My advice is - don't reinvent the wheel or create work that doesn't have to be done or is in place through another set means. Yes, that could be termed as either lazy or plain clever !!

Posted By steven bentham Draft you own: The top should read 'Voluntary Statement' The bottom should read 'I make this statement voluntary and it is true to the best of my knowledge and belief'. Get them to sign and date and initial any amendments. Stick to FACTS not opinions throughout
