This workshop is designed to provide interpreters with the knowledge and confidence to interpret serious, complex, and major crime interviews with both witnesses and suspects, including those that are vulnerable
This highly interactive workshop is aimed at interpreters involved with interpreting serious criminal investigations with police and investigative agencies. It is recommended, but not essential, that interpreters have previously attended our "Interpreting Police Interviews Effectively" workshop.
This particular workshop explores more advanced interview techniques relevant to both suspect and witness interviews to enable interpreters to carry out their role more confidently and professionally and in particular examines: -
- Witness Needs Assessments
- Visually Recorded Interviews
- Custody Issues
- Investigative Questioning and the Enhanced Cognitive Interview
This workshop has been designed by experienced and highly qualified (professionally and academically) detectives with particular experience of working with interpreters and they have investigated cases at all levels of criminality from simple theft to homicide. They facilitate this practical workshop with hands on experience supported by law, policy and guidance which is introduced at appropriate points to delegates during the day
The day has time built in for networking and we have seen many professional bonds formed at these events. This is suitable for spoken and sign language interpreters. We run this day independently as our own workshop with events around the country, so please check our news feed or get in touch for dates. Alternatively, if you have a group of people, we can also travel to you for a fixed fee to run this workshop at your network, organisation, agency etc so please do get in touch at bookings@zakon.co.uk
The workshop includes materials, resources and certificates to evidence CPD
We also run other interpreter specific workshops such as Interpreting Police Interviews Effectively and Interpreting Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Offences
