Overview

Off the shelf (OTS)

Many professionals are required to conduct interviews in situations where the information obtained may become vital evidence in later proceedings. Failure to conduct these interviews properly may result in evidence being inadmissible, unreliable or without weight and may adversely affect the fairness of the trial.

This course will provide delegates with the key skills to interview witnesses, obtain witness statements and interview suspects effectively and to best practice standards enabling them to maximise the evidence they gain during such interviews.
