Caitlin was shown different areas in the site, including the fingerprint development lab and the forensic collision investigation unit.
“I think coming here and… trying to look where I want to be in the future, it’s getting me back on track and helping me recover a lot,” she told BBC Midlands Today.
She added that seeing Boreland be sent to prison has also aided her recovery.
“It really did help me come to terms with it and close that book and open a new book into my future, instead of looking back on past events – it’s nice to know that I can move on from something and make better of myself.”
Her mum Sarah, said: “I think everything Caitlin’s been through in the last two years has proved that she is the most determined and resilient child we’ve ever met.”
“I know she can do whatever she wants, when she puts her mind to it, so we’re really hopeful she’ll follow her dreams and do what she wants.”
