Fred West's Appropriate Adult.
20 Answers
Flicking through available programmes on TV I noticed a show about West. If he needed an appropriate adult during interviews with the police would that indicate he was a murderous halfwit?

//Fred West required an appropriate adult due to his inability to read or write.
West left school at the age of 15 which resulted in him remaining largely illiterate.
In police interviews, when suspects are given documents they need to be able to fully understand what they are being shown.
Combined with the severity of the charges made against him, police deemed it necessary for West to have someone supporting him through the interrogation process. //

How does leaving school at 15 result in someone "remaining largely illiterate"? I was able to read (simple books) and write (very basically) before I went to school at the age of 5. My primary school built on that and I would consider I was fully literate (and numerate) when I left aged 11. To suggest that someone who had "only" ten years of education (which was the standard for many people of my age) would result in them remaining largely illiterate is stretching the truth and an insult to the teachers of that time. Fred West had a terrible upbringing and I doubt his parents had much involvement in his education. That was more probably the cause of his illiteracy, not a failing in the education system of that time.

Emily Watson played the "appropriate adult" along side Dominic West's Fred West in the TV mini series in 2011

Possibly not now (though it still presents difficulties). But Fred West was born in 1941 and would have applied for his DL round about 1958. At that time far less assistance was provided for those who were illiterate.
Even today, I would suggest that those unable to read wold have considerable difficulty with both the administrative work necessary before they can drive, and with actually driving itself.
