Historically, forensic interview protocols, training, and practice have focused on conducting forensic interviews with children and adolescents regarding their experiences of abuse, and of conducting such investigations within the context of a multidisciplinary team.
The field of forensic interviewing has developed in response to the recognition that these young populations present with unique needs and require specialized approaches.
Vulnerable adults who may have experienced abuse also have unique needs, and are similarly deserving of having practices reflective of these needs.
Increasingly, individuals or agencies in the role of conducting forensic interviews with children may be called upon to interview vulnerable adults.
This presentation will provide an introduction and overview of forensic interviewing with alleged vulnerable adult victims of abuse, through exploring practices that are applicable to conducting forensic interviews with vulnerable adults and discussing how forensic interviewing of vulnerable adults may be incorporated into current practice.
