The conversation delves into the challenges of identifying those in need of intermediary services, highlighting the diversity of vulnerabilities that necessitate such support. Dr. Taggart emphasises intermediaries' significant impact on enabling individuals to effectively participate in the justice system, regardless of their vulnerabilities.
