Forensic Interviewing
The majority of investigations will include forensically interviewing individuals involved to obtain their accounts and knowledge of the issues raised. Forensic or investigative interviewing is a skill and takes time and practice to get it right. Many organisations fall foul of not considering the importance of interviews in their ongoing cases which can and often does result in cases being lost due to poor interviewing.
We provide a variety of training workshops, online or face to face in forensic or investigative interviewing taking you from the basics of the PEACE model of interviewing through to Achieving Best Evidence and Trauma Informed Interviewing.
We teach you questioning style learning how your interview should be a funnel of question types and we offer a unique look at how vulnerable individuals may respond to certain question types.
We look beyond the basics of PEACE and teach you the science of skilled interviewing and the practicalities of such. Exploring the importance of each phase and linking them all to your objectives. Investigative interviewing is not about obtaining as much information as possible, it’s about getting relevant, reliable and accurate information that helps to resolve the case at hand.
