Initial Child Interview Training Project

Welcome

The Initial Child Interview Training (ICIT) aims to train first responders on best protocols for gathering information in cases that relate to child sexual abuse, physical abuse, and child sexual exploitation, thus minimizing trauma to the child and avoiding multiple interviews. The goal will also be to use best practice to preserve the case and avoid conflicting statements that may result from ineffective interviewing, or situational factors beyond the interviewer’s control.

The training is broken up into three modules:
1. Child Welfare
2. Law Enforcement
3. Mandated Reporters 

Each module contains interactive activities and knowledge checkpoints throughout. The course is self-paced and available online 24/7.

What professionals are saying about ICIT..
  • Training Participant

    That this is an excellent resource for training child welfare professionals.

  • Training Participant

    There are few, if any, practical MINIMAL FACTS interview training courses available. This course really included the "cautions" about duplicative interviewing and emphasized pausing to consider the type of case to reduce duplicative interviewing, as well as acknowledged that this is not a full course on interviewing children, encouraging additional training on investigative interviewing and/or forensic interviewing.
