Jeff Norman is an excellent expert witness who I strongly recommend. In a case wherein he provided an expert report relating to a client charged with supplying controlled drugs, he recommended to my solicitor that further disclosure be requested from the CPS and defendant to allow him to be fully informed and to be able to provide a comprehensive and balanced report. The material was obtained and this resulted in two further addendum reports including one addressing occurrence logs. Another dealt with a substantial amount of telephone evidence, which he assimilated and produced a report about on the first day of trial when the disclosure was provided to the Defence. He worked overnight and no doubt in his own time. His conduct throughout and the quality of his reports demonstrate his insight and professionalism. He understood the unused material and the workings of the police force. He provided excellent reports and as a witness in court was calm, balanced, objective and impressive. I have no doubt that his evidence contributed to the positive outcome for the defendant. In summary, he is thoughtful, meticulous and hardworking.

Jeff Norman is personally known to me for his excellent contribution to delivering the Anti-Slavery agenda in Wales. It is the aim of the Welsh Government to make Wales hostile to slavery and to provide the best possible support to survivors. Jeff has been engaged with Wales Anti-Slavery Leadership Group Training Sub Group playing a leading role in designing and delivering slavery awareness training programmes. He has also played an integral role in the introduction of intelligence and information sharing protocols. Working with Jeff I have become aware of his professionalism, enthusiasm and passion to tackle all forms of slavery.

He is supportive of his colleagues and works tirelessly to promote the anti-slavery agenda. In addition to supporting awareness raising training and intelligence initiatives, Jeff has assisted in the establishing of regional anti-slavery fora across Wales and the delivery of high profile anti-slavery conferences and events.

Jeff has been an excellent ambassador for the Wales Anti-Slavery Leadership Group and the Police Service. His efforts certainly contributed to raising the awareness of slavery across Wales and making a difference to the lives and safety of potential victims.
