SUMMARY:APSAC's 2023 Practice Guidelines on Forensic Interviewing of Children
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThe forensic interview is a critical tool for gathering information in child maltreatment cases.  This specialized and evolving skill requires on-going training and peer review. Child forensic interviews can be used in cases where a child may have been abused\, exploited\, neglected\, psychologically maltreated\, or witnessed a crime. It is investigative in nature and used to gather potential evidence about what a child may have experienced or witnessed as part of a larger investigation. The workshop will review what’s new and different in the 2023 APSAC Practice Guidelines on Forensic Interviewing of Children. While many forensic interviews involve children who have previously disclosed\, the recommendations contained in this workshop can be utilized in exploratory (e.g. at-risk\, precautionary\, screening) situations where there has not been previous disclosure. The guidelines presented are transferable in other contexts such as interviewing vulnerable adults. These interviews are evidence\, and as such\, the interview can be utilized in criminal child abuse proceedings\, civil child protection proceedings\, domestic proceedings\, and criminal activity witnessed by children. Information from the interviews may help identify other victims\, assist professionals responsible for assessing risk and safety needs of children and families\, and facilitate case management decisions. \nThe recently updated 2012 APSAC Practice Guidelines on Forensic Interviewing (2023) will be discussed to help participants to differentiate between current evidenced-based interview components and past practices. Updates and changes in practice will be highlighted and explained. The APSAC guidelines are aspirational and intended to encourage the highest level of interview proficiency and to offer direction for training child forensic interviewers. Participants will be able to recognize the necessary attributes of an interviewer\, interview training\, context and components of a trauma-informed child forensic interview. The purpose of a forensic interview is to elicit as much reliable information as possible from the child to inform the investigation and case planning. This workshop will guide Interviewers in the attempt to collect facts in a neutral\, supportive\, and objective manner consistent with the best interests of the child. \nThe goal is to provide a trauma-informed opportunity for a child to talk about their experiences while minimizing negative impact. At the core\, forensic interviews are non-leading\, non-suggestive\, non-blaming and non-shaming. Beyond understanding the importance of conducting developmentally\, culturally sensitive interviews\, establishing rapport\, and learning idiosyncratic differences in children’s use of language\, participants will gain an understanding of the evolution of forensic interview practice. Participants will also learn how barriers created by cultural differences can interfere with the ability to gain important information and often lead to misunderstandings and misinformed decision-making.  This workshop is only a brief overview to the updated 2023 APSAC Practice Guidelines on Forensic Interviewing of Children. Those wanting more detailed training are encouraged to apply to the APSAC Forensic Interviewing Clinic. \nThe new guidelines can be viewed here \nRegister through APSAC

SUMMARY:APSAC Child Interviewing - Where Research Meets Practice (3-Part Series)
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nForensic child interviewing topics are examined in this three part webinar series. The webinars are designed for new to experienced interviewers and will explore the free narrative\, interview rules and focused questions.​ \nPART 1 – What is the Name of your Cat – Exploring the Free Narrative (September 27)\nDescription: The free narrative step is a research based best practice in investigative interviews for obtaining the child or youth’s version of events in their own words. If you are curious about how the name of your cat is related to the free narrative\, this webinar will explore types of questions / prompts in the free narrative step and what the research tells us about interviewers’ ability to stay in the free narrative. Participants will learn the principles of the free narrative step\, how to effectively use open-ended questions / prompts and strategies to stay in the free narrative step. \nPART 2 – Why Follow the Rules – Exploring Interview Rules (October 25)\nDescription: Interview rules are a research based best practice for investigative interviews. Our society has many sets of rules\, and we don’t always follow them. This webinar will explore the research behind interview rules and how following the rules can benefit the interviewee and the interviewer. Participants will learn about the most common interview rules and be provided with strategies for effective implementation of the interview rules. \nPART 3 – Fun in the Funnel – Exploring Focused Questions (November 29)\nDescription: The funnel is an analogy to understand the concept of beginning with broad questions and moving to more focused questions. The concept of broad to more focused questions is a best practice for gaining accurate information in the least leading manner. This webinar will explore how to gather information about events or topics. The fun in the funnel is learning how this concept can build structure in an investigative interview\, which is beneficial for the interviewee and the interviewer. Participants will learn how to apply the funnel concept and strategies for building structure in an interview. \nAbout Presenter\nAndy Stuart is the Training Division Manager with The Forensic Practice in British Columbia\, Canada.

SUMMARY:NCAC Forensic Interviews of Preschool Child Witnesses
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nA forensic interview of a preschool child brings unique challenges. Cognitive and linguistic abilities are newly emerging for children in this age group. While preschoolers may appear verbal and competent within their familiar everyday environment and conversations\, they have little to no experience providing personal autobiographical information to an unfamiliar adult in an unfamiliar setting. Separation from their caregiver can be unsettling for the very youngest children\, especially those with no prior daycare or preschool experience. \nGreater knowledge of developmental abilities and limitations\, as well as patience and willingness on the interviewer’s part to adapt language and limit expectations\, is required with this age group. Recommendations for adjusting language and questioning approaches and an adaptation of interview protocols will be provided. Demonstration interviews will be used throughout the training. \nRegister through NCAC\nRegister by August 25\, 2023 \n

SUMMARY:NCAC Getting the Best Information from a Narrative Child Witness
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nResearch in child maltreatment\, memory\, suggestibility\, and child development has led to a consensus regarding the guidelines to be followed when conducting a forensic interview. Interviewers know how to adapt their approach to the child in the room and formulate questions adapted to a child’s level of language acquisition and cognitive development. \nWhile there are numerous challenges when interviewing reluctant children\, there are also challenges that must be addressed and managed when interviewing highly narrative children. The appropriate use of invitations\, breadth and depth questions\, specific wh-questions\, and yes/no questions by interviewers can provide a framework for understanding and moving through a child’s narration. In addition\, many children may have experienced multiple events of maltreatment which often results in the blending of details across incidents. Active listening and utilizing provided cues and leads can provide investigators with a greater understanding of the child’s lived experiences and assist with the details required during a civil or criminal investigation. \nParticipants will have an opportunity to increase skills in implementing best practice narrative questioning strategies with highly narrative children while also learning to elicit and manage the flow of information needed by the investigative team. \nWho Should Attend\nThis training is appropriate for forensic interviewers who have completed a nationally recognized forensic interview training and want to increase their ability to obtain information from children that reflect evidence-based\, best-practice questioning of child witnesses. \nRegister via NCAC\nRegistration Deadline is June 20\, 2023. This training is only offered virtually. \nA 25% discount is available for registrants from developing countries or from Tribal CACs. Please contact the training coordinator for additional information. Please note: To pay via international wire transfer\, payment must be made in U.S. dollars at your expense. Banking and account information is provided on request. \nCancellation Policy\nThe full registration fee is due by the fee deadline stated above in order to hold your spot. Registrants that have not paid in full by the deadline will be released from the training\, and we will contact those on the waitlist. \nIf you are unable to attend the training\, you must submit your cancellation notice at least 30 days prior to the training in order to be refunded the full amount\, less a $100 administrative fee.

SUMMARY:Increasing Skill in Forensic Interviewing of Children
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nNational Children’s Advocacy Center (NCAC) is presenting a training opportunity on Increasing Skill in Forensic Interviewing of Children with Andra Chamberlin\, MA. \nConducting an effective forensic interview (FI) of a child is a complex task that requires an understanding of children’s memory\, linguistic\, communicative\, and metacognitive capacities. It also includes the use of appropriate questioning strategies which maximize a child’s recall memory. These concepts are introduced and practiced during initial forensic interview training. \nFaced with diverse children and complicated cases\, interviewers often need help implementing the lessons learned in basic forensic interview training in a nuanced and thoughtful manner. Mastering the use of appropriate questioning strategies and legally defensible social support requires additional training beyond an initial one-week class. \nThis course deepens interviewers’ understanding of effective questioning strategies\, the provision of sensitive and targeted social support and provides extended opportunities to practice the implementation of skills and receive timely feedback. Participants will also receive specific preparation in interview evaluation. \nThis virtual\, non-protocol-specific\, foundational skill-building training consists of experiential components\, readings\, web-based modules\, and interview exercises. \nWho should attend?\nThis training is recommended as the first follow-up training for newer interviewers\, as well as for interviewers who would like to refresh and update their skills. Completion of nationally recognized forensic interviewing training is required. \nRegister via NCAC\nRegister by May 26\, 2023 \nA 25% discount is available for registrants from developing countries or from Tribal CACs. Please contact the training coordinator for additional information. Please note: To pay via international wire transfer\, payment must be made in U.S. dollars at your expense. Banking and account information is provided on request. \nImportant Note: Training classes are subject to cancellation in the event of insufficient registrations. Therefore\, DO NOT make non-refundable travel arrangements until you receive both a “Preliminary Registration” e-mail AND a “Final Confirmation” e-mail from NCAC that the training will take place (approximately 4 to 6 weeks before the training). \nCancellation Policy\nThe full registration fee is due by the fee deadline stated above in order to hold your spot.
