Program Description
Talking to investigators can be difficult for a child victimized by abuse. Conflicting emotions of fear and love for the perpetrator may cause a child to be reluctant to reveal abuse. If a child tries to speak of abuse, he or she may lack the verbal skills to adequately communicate the event to an adult.
It can be difficult for a police officer, social worker or prosecutor who must speak to a child about abuse. In order to communicate competently with a child, the interviewer must be able to speak in a manner consistent with the child’s linguistic and developmental abilities.
It can be difficult for a child forced to tell a jury about abuse.
It can be difficult for an investigator or prosecutor forced to defend an interview from an attack by defense counsel that the child was “led” into making a false accusation.
Child First is an intensive five-day course in which students learn the necessary skills to conduct a competent investigative interview of a child abuse victim using the CornerHouse forensic interview process.
Child First is an interactive course which combines lectures with demonstrations and hands-on experience. Students will be required to conduct a 30 minute interview with an actor/actress playing the role of an abused child and will be critiqued by an expert forensic interviewer.
Child First Delaware is a course taught by faculty trained and certified by the NAPSAC’s National Child Protection Training Center in collaboration with CornerHouse, a non-profit interagency child abuse evaluation and training center located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Child First is the ideal course for investigators and attorneys seeking to enhance their ability to speak to and for abused children.
Applicant/Student Information
This course is limited to 40 students. There is no fee for this training. Lunch is provided daily. Due to the intense nature of this course, overnight accommodations are available and students are encouraged to remain on campus during the course. These accommodations are provided at no expense to students. Students may choose to commute.
The course involves 40 hours of instruction plus nightly reading. As a result, applicants and their supervisors are asked to acknowledge and commit to participating fully in the course. Students who fail to attend all lectures, to complete homework or pass the evaluation portions of the course will not be awarded a Certificate of Completion. Absence from any portion of the course will not be excused for any reason.
Registration priority will be given to those responsible for the investigation and prosecution of child abuse and neglect cases. Applications will be screened accordingly. Those without direct investigative responsibilities may be placed on a waiting list.
Once registration is confirmed, students will be provided course materials including pre-course reading assignments. The readings are to be completed before the start of the course. If you are unable to attend, please notify the Office of the Child Advocate immediately so that we may accommodate others who may be on the waiting list. We do not want paid slots to go unused.
