Cognitive Interviewing

Course Outline:

Professionals often need to interview witnesses or victims. These witnesses may give too brief an account, others may be confused or be unable to remember sufficient detail.

The Cognitive Interview method will enable interviewers to obtain accurate details from witnesses in the witnesses’ own words. The technique promotes active communication and recall of evidence by the witness.

Designed as a follow-on to the 2-day Investigative Interviewing course, this training is designed to enhance and improve existing interview techniques. Delegates will learn how to apply cognitive interview techniques in practical sessions and role-play.

Key Learning Outcomes:

  • The role of the Interview Advisor
  • Liaison with senior investigators and external partners
  • Developing and writing legally compliant interview strategies
  • Pre-interview briefings to interviewers
  • Protecting vulnerable suspects
  • Identification of tactics for dealing with legal advisors
