FORENSIC INTERVIEW TRAINING
Finding Words/ChildFirst® New Jersey is an intensive five-day training course in which students learn the necessary skills to conduct a competent investigative interview of a child abuse victim using the ChildFirst forensic interview process.
EXPANDED FORENSIC INTERVIEW TRAINING
Established upon current research, a single comprehensive forensic interview does not meet the needs for all children. This expanded forensic interview training addresses the needs and best interest of the child victim. Based on the nationally recognized ChildFirst® Forensic Interview Protocol, this training provides a defensible process for conducting interviews with children who may not disclose in a traditional single session forensic interview due to trauma, development, special needs, other complicating issues including poly victimization
PEER REVIEW
Peer Review is a training opportunity to make interviews adhere to best practice standards that remain forensically defensible. Peer Review sessions maintain interviewer consistency and fidelity to the protocol and minimizes interviewer drift.
REFRESHER TRAINING
Refresher training is an opportunity for law enforcement professionals who were previously trained to review the ChildFirst forensic interview protocol and skills needed to conduct a competent forensic interview of a child abuse victim.
FIRST TRAINING
Protecting children from child abuse and maltreatment requires that everyone understand how to recognize, respond, and report any form of maltreatment a child may experience. FIRST response is often the single most important step in effectively responding and reporting maltreatment.
