A framework for adapting child interview protocols in complex cases

该项目旨在与土著和其他行业合作研究人员合作，开发一个“如何”框架，以便有效地调整标准的虐待儿童面谈协议，以适应造成披露障碍的复杂性。复杂的案例需要面谈适应，但它需要系统的指导和跨学科的、实践者驱动的方法才能有效。这一创新框架预计将通过改善支持决策的证据质量，为支持儿童福祉的服务带来长期利益。通过加强面谈人员的能力，还将减少在法医面谈或调查之前过早退出司法系统的案件。

This project aims to develop–in collaboration with Aboriginal and other industry co-researchers–a ‘how to’ framework for effectively adapting standard child abuse interview protocols to accommodate the complexities that create barriers to disclosure. Complex cases necessitate interview adaption, but it requires systematic guidance and an interdisciplinary, practitioner-driven approach to be effective. This innovative framework is expected to have long-term benefits for services that support children’s well-being, through improvements in the quality of evidence underpinning decisions. By enhancing interviewer capability, there will also be fewer cases prematurely exiting the justice system before forensic interview or investigation.
