Statement/Report Writing - overview

Written evidence is vital: good written evidence promotes early settlement of civil cases and success at trial in criminal cases.

On this hands-on Statement/Report Writing Course, you’ll learn how to improve the content, structure and style of your statements/reports. 

Too often statements/reports lack clarity, credibility and objectivity. Delegates will consider best practice in writing effective statements or reports for use in civil claims or criminal cases.

The Statement/Report Writing training course can count towards the 8-day nationally recognised qualification the Advanced Professional Certificate In Investigative Practice.
