What are Forensic/Investigative Interviews? Forensic/investigative interviews are interviews designed to obtain as much accurate testimony as possible from children and other vulnerable individuals who have allegedly witnessed or have been affected by maltreatment, sexual and/or physical abuse, or bullying, while reducing the stress of interview as much as possible. The purpose of the interviews is to investigate the facts, not to provide counseling or therapy. Interviews are video-recorded to ensure accurate documentation. Interviews are conducted in the early stages of an investigation. Interviews are conducted by a multidisciplinary team of social workers, police officers, prosecutors, and other professionals so as to minimize the number of interviews. The validity of information obtained is tested against objective/external facts after the interviews.
