Extended Forensic Interview Training
The NCAC Extended Forensic Interview Protocol
Extended Forensic Interview Training Information
This training introduces a model for a multi-session forensic interview of a child who is potentially a victim or witness of child abuse or other violent behaviors.
An Extended Forensic Interview (EFI) is appropriate for children where the results of a single interview are inconclusive or where there are serious concerns about the child’s ability to participate in a single-session interview. Such children might be the very young child, a child with developmental delays or cognitive disabilities, or an extremely traumatized child. Cultural considerations may indicate a need for an EFI, rather than a single-session interview.
Topics addressed during the EFI training are forensic questioning of children, developmental and cultural screening, memory and suggestibility, the use of media in forensic questioning, incremental and direct approaches to substantive issues, and consideration of alternative hypotheses in forensic questioning.
Trainees will participate in hands-on activities and role-play. Each participant will receive a manual for implementing the EFI model as well as a notebook of resource material.

What Others are Saying about Extended Forensic Interviewing Training...
"The EFI gives a child an opportunity to feel safe, respected and values him/her as an individual instead of making her/him fit into the adult world."-Unknown
"I learned new alternative questions and prompts for interviews. Also feel relieved to know how appropriate an EFI would be in lieu of pressuring a child for information when an FI isn’t working for them."-Laraine Fraijo
Who Should Attend?
This training is designed for mental health clinicians or other professionals (such as a forensic interviewer) with knowledge of child development, the impact of trauma on memory and development, and dynamics of child abuse. The EFI Model is based on empirically-based forensic principles.
Length
The standard training is 3 days.
