This session is an accessible introduction to evidence principles and explains what counts as evidence, the different types used in hearings and investigations, and why rules like relevance and credibility matter for fairness. Using practical examples, attendees will learn about admissibility, how to distinguish between direct and circumstantial evidence, and understand common objections raised during hearings. This session will equip new, non-lawyer, or less experienced hearing officials with the tools to make sound, defensible decisions.
