Arriving at court
There are security guards at the court and they will usually search people when they enter the building. They may also tell anyone who attends the court who is not a parent, carer, and/or guardian/s, such as friends, that they can't attend.
There will usually be a professional with a clipboard in the waiting or seating area. This person is the usher and anyone appearing in court must report to the usher so that they can tell the court that the person has arrived.
Security guards and the usher can help to direct people to where they need to go.
