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 practive to preserve the case and avoid conflicting statements that may result from ineffective interviewing, or situational factors beyong the interviewer’s control.
The training is broken up into three modules: 1. Law Enforcement, 2. CPS, and 3. Mandated Reporters. Each module is approximately 2 hours long, and contains interactive activities and knowledge checkpoints throughout. The course is free and available online 24/7.
