2025 – Aug 20 – Forensic Interviewer Training – Recantation
August 20 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
This will be held via Zoom.
This training will discuss the dynamics behind recantations of child abuse disclosures, both in forensic interviews and outside of forensic interviews. This session will review frequently asked questions about recantation, such as “Why does recantation happen?”, “Can we avoid recantations?”, “How do we minimize the likelihood of recantation?”, and “What do we do now?”. Topics covered include understanding of recantation, child abuse dynamics, follow-up recantation interviews, next steps for investigative team members in child abuse cases that involve full and partial recantations and retractions of children’s statements.”
