Forensic interviewing with children and adolescents demands more than training—it requires strategy. This advanced training equips supervisors with the tools to coach and elevate interviewers across four essential areas: question typology, protocol adherence, social support, and critical thinking. Practical guidance and adaptations will be provided for all experience levels—helping your team grow with confidence and consistency.

This training is open to those having previous and/or ongoing experience in conducting forensic interviews and are currently responsible for the skill development and support of other interviewers. More information *This training is full.

Children with a disability are at high risk for victimization. Forensic interviewers well trained in their discipline may lack confidence when speaking with a child with a disability as it is unrealistic to expect that an interviewer be well versed in the impact of the wide variety of disabilities on a child’s behavioral, cognitive, linguistic, and emotional functioning. This training will address pre-interview preparation, collaboration with investigative partners, interview adaptations, and the importance of critical thinking decisions through the forensic interview.

This training is recommended for forensic interviewers who have developed some comfort and flexibility with the continuum of questioning strategies as well as the phases of a forensic interview. More information.
