Investigative Interviewing Masterclass
From hesitation to confidence: Practical investigative interviewing for regulators
Investigative interviewing is invaluable in the regulator’s toolkit, designed to gather significant volumes of admissible evidence in a fraction of the time. Despite its value, many practitioners hesitate to use the tool or inadvertently misapply it, due to the high stakes of “getting it wrong”.
This masterclass strips away the complexity of the process by introducing the science-backed PEACE model of interviewing. You will walk away with a practical set of tools tailored to your workplace, along with the confidence to apply them immediately.
Through hands-on practice, you will master powerful questioning techniques engineered to elicit a continuous flow of information from both witnesses and suspects.
Your event experience
Bridge the gap between theory and real-world application through intensive, small-group sessions designed to translate the PEACE model into your daily regulatory practice
