This training is designed for investigative teams of law enforcement officers, social workers, prosecutors, child protection attorneys, and forensic interviewers. The training will teach the expanded interview process as well as research supporting multiple, non-duplicative interviews with child victims and witnesses. Participants must have completed a nationally recognized basic child forensic interview training.
