As soon as possible, victims undergo a personalised assessment to determine whether they need specific protection measures during the criminal proceedings.
The authority interviewing the victim will collect the initial elements enabling this assessment to be made. In the light of these elements, the assessment may be taken further, with the agreement of the competent judicial authority.
The victim will be involved in this assessment. Where applicable, the victim support association requested by the public prosecutor or investigating judge pursuant to Article 41 is also involved; its opinion is attached to the proceedings.
The detailed rules for the application of this article shall be specified by decree.
