This is vital to the work we do. This is a process where a child is given the opportunity to make a statement about what happened in a safe, supportive environment. The child is questioned in a legally-sound, developmentally appropriate manner by a nationally trained forensic interviewer. The interview is audio and video recorded with the emphasis on the child’s comfort and obtaining accurate information for the investigation and prosecution processes. This helps in reducing the number of times children have to tell their story, therefore reducing trauma to the child.
