| This unit provides students with skills for investigative interviewing with a focus on children and those with complex needs. Students will develop best practice interviewing skills including open ended questions, minimal encourages, developmental implications for memory, language and cognition. Investigative interviewing can support those with a specialist role in child forensic interviews but also for those who work with children where there is early indication of risk of abuse. The principles, knowledge and skills of investigative interviewing are transferable to many other work roles with children or adults. |
