Having previously delivered investigative skills training on behalf of the GLAA, we are delighted to continue our relationship and have been selected to train GLAA investigators in the interviewing of Vulnerable and Intimidated witnesses compliant with Achieving Best Evidence Guidelines.

We have been particularly keen to deliver high level interview training as since May 2017, the GLAA has taken on the role and remit of the Gangmasters Licensing Authority (GLA). The GLAA has also been granted police-style powers to investigate labour abuse and exploitation across all aspects of the UK labour market – more information on the transition from GLA to GLAA can be found here.

Each course is a week long and a number of courses will be rolled out over the coming months for Labour Abuse Prevention Officers who have the demanding job of investigating potential modern slavery offences and serious labour exploitation. The training promises to educate investigators on specific legal requirements, the intricacies of adhering to achieving best evidence guidelines, and will develop enhanced interview techniques required for investigators of serious and complex crime. The training will be delivered by experienced, academically and professionally qualified trainers and practitioners with extensive interview experience at all levels of criminality.

To find out more about the work of the GLAA see here and a copy of Achieving Best Evidence Guidelines can be downloaded from here.

If your organisation would benefit from interview training at any level, then please contact us at info@zakon.co.uk to discuss your requirements.
