## Description

The requirement is 28 Digital Interview Recorders \(DIRs\)\. The recording devices have to be purchased because of changes in legislation brought by Sec 28 of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 \(MCA\)\. It stipulates that certain vulnerable victims must have their evidence recorded on Video and Audio and then this can be played in court\. The type of recording equipment is described under the provisions of the Home Office Guidance and is very proscriptive\.
