Investigative Interviewing

Investigative Interviewing: Enhancing affidavit and statement drafting through structured planning and conversation management.

Join us for this skill development seminar focused on the fundamental legal skill of interviewing clients and witnesses.

Effective affidavit and statement drafting relies on a well-defined interview planning framework that sets a clear roadmap for both the interviewer and interviewee. By anticipating potential challenges and organising the interview process, practitioners can enhance efficiency and obtain more detailed responses, reducing the need for costly follow-up interactions.

This seminar will teach you how to master interviewing techniques and effectively manage conversations to ensure interviews yield high quality information while considering the potential emotional impact on subsequent interactions with the interviewee. Learning this standardised, structured approach will not only improve the consistency, reliability, and quality of your interviews, but also save time and cost for you and your clients.

This seminar is highly recommended for all Specialist Accreditation Candidates.

Amanda Gregson is a former Police Officer with the WA Police Force, having spent nearly 20 years as a Detective Investigator and Detective Training Instructor.
