This intensive three-hour advanced course provides a focused environment for experienced forensic interviewers to refine and strengthen their practice in child sex trafficking cases. Through expert-led peer review, participants will critically analyze the structure, clarity, and defensibility of their forensic interviews, identify areas for improvement, and implement best practices to enhance the quality and integrity of their work. Emphasis is placed on trauma-informed interviewing techniques, legally sound documentation, and effective communication of complex case details to multidisciplinary partners and within judicial proceedings.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Present case evidence succinctly and accurately for constructive, expert level peer evaluation
- Identify strengths, weaknesses, and potential legal vulnerabilities in evidence organization and presentation strategies
- Apply trauma informed principles in the handling and explanation of sensitive investigative findings
- Strengthen courtroom readiness and multidisciplinary communication by incorporating professional feedback into real-world practice
- Enhance analytical and critical reasoning skills through review of peer presentations and facilitated discussion
- Apply course techniques effectively within your professional role
