Course Information Pages
Anyone charged with an investigation, at any level, needs a degree of training. Whether its an internal minor matter through to something more serious that could bring your organisation into disrepute through bad publicity or a simple failure to have adopted best practice.
This course is designed to protect your organisation - and those charged with conducting an investigation, who may find themselves falling foul of the rules, especially if a matter should, inadvertently or otherwise, end up being scrutinised by a court or tribunal.
Many areas are covered including planning, ‘crime’ scene, case management including structured briefings/debriefings and dealing with victims and witnesses. Whilst Statement taking can be a highly specialised skill area, we get the basics covered to send you on your way to taking professional statements from people and how to handle exhibits. The paperwork can be tedious so we share best practice on file preparation, writing a resumé and note taking. The ability to remain impartial is crucial [even though you maybe perceived to be on a ‘side’] and dealing with 3rd parties such as lawyers, Police, tribunals and the Courts is essential - you just never know where an investigation could end up so plan for the extreme and and anything less will be more than acceptable.
Whilst a predominantly low-tech course, a high tech element is introduced and we discuss some areas of technology that will prove helpful, especially when team work is required.
We can tailor this course to your organisational requirements and whilst the 1 day course provides for an excellent Foundation, we suggest the following ‘Bolt-Ons’ each being half or one day courses, may be of further use.
- Statement Taking - Our feedback surveys have indicated this was the most popular element of Investigator Foundation. Planning, Patience, time, Communication Skills are all key elements of taking a ‘good’ statement. We cover the pitfalls, continuity and ensuring your witness evidence is accepted.
- Interviewing & Communication Skills - Our second most popular element of Investigator Foundation, we spend a bit more time improving our listening and verbal communications, thus making for a better interview.
- Evidence Skills - Whether it be for an internal hearing, tribunal or giving evidence before a Judge & Jury, this session aims to provide confidence and prevent potential embarrassments!
By way of professional Development we also recommend Module 1 of our Internet Evidence Finder Course. Obtaining evidence from the Internet, particularly Social networking is becoming an every day occurrence for Investigators. Our IEF course ensures you will do it correctly.
