Our team spent another great week with both new and experienced investigators running an advanced witness interview (ABE) course
The Gangmaster and Labour Abuse Authority investigate Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Offences. As these crimes are at the most serious end of criminality and involve intimidated witnesses, a thorough and effective interview, at an advanced level, according to Achieving Best Evidence guidelines is essential.
Zakon have been running these courses for the GLAA (as well as Suspect interview, disclosure and court skills training) for the last six years and were delighted to spend the week with another fantastic group of investigators. Here is just a sample of what they had to say: -
“Probably the best trainer I have seen in all of my investigative career.”
“Clearly a leading authority on the subject matter.”
“Delivered succinctly and professionally using tools that are easy to understand and digested by a very competent training team.”
“Relevant mixture of legal input and real world experience.”
“Very knowledgeable both on the law and practically.”
“I liked everything, extremely well delivered by very capable trainers.”
“The professional role actors were outstanding.”
“Very little PowerPoint and great practical sessions.”
We look forward to continuing to help investigators upskill and develop in some of the most critical areas of investigation.
