Overview
Trust is key. Children often choose to disclose to an adult they trust and feel safe with. If we are that trusted adult, what do we do next?
Description: Children often choose to disclose to an adult they trust and feel safe with. If we are that trusted adult, what do we do next? How we respond after a child’s disclosure profoundly impacts the child and any potential criminal case that may follow. It is crucial we know what questions to ask and when to stop.
Objectives:
- Understand the importance and purpose of minimal facts interviewing
