Welcome
The Initial Child Interview Training (ICIT) aims to train first responders on best protocols for gathering information in a child abuse case, 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. Law Enforcement
2. Child Welfare
3. Mandated Reporters.
Each module contains interactive activities and knowledge checkpoints throughout. The course is self-paced and available online 24/7.
