Course Outline:
Professionals often need to interview witnesses or victims. The problems with such interviews are that witnesses may give too brief an account, others may ramble 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 by the witness of evidence.
Designed as a follow-on to the 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.
