Abstract
This article examines the background to the provision of appropriate adults under PACE and the practical problems in implementing the scheme in practice. Police officers are expected to make judgments about the vulnerability of suspects; untrained individuals may be called upon to assist and advise, with the result that they may not be ''appropriate'' the courts have not been consistent in requiring the presence of an appropriate adult. Recent curtailment of the right to silence places suspects under increasing pressure to answer police questions, adding greater urgency to the need for an established scheme of trained appropriate adults.
