NCAC Critical Thinking in the Forensic Interview: Moving from Rote to Responsive Practice

Training Overview

Effective forensic interviewers must possess a broad repertoire of skills. Additionally, forensic interviewers should develop a critical thinking framework to accommodate the needs of the child and the investigative team, especially in highly complex cases. This training focuses on preparing interviewers to make thoughtful decisions throughout the entirety of the interview. Suggestions for engaging with investigative partners in the adaptations will be addressed.

This training is recommended for forensic interviewers wishing to improve their planning, thinking, and decision-making processes throughout the forensic interview as well as working effectively with investigative partners.

Who should attend? 

This training is specifically designed for experienced interviewers responsible for initial forensic interviews of children working with a multidisciplinary team. It is recommended that the interviewer have at least two years of interviewing experience and have completed nationally-recognized FI training.
