Minimal Facts Interviewing
February 11, 2027
Responding to a child’s disclosure is one of the most integral components of a child maltreatment investigation. As adults who work with children or who may encounter children in any capacity, it’s important to know how to effectively respond and react to a child’s disclosure to ensure the course of a potential investigation is left unhindered. The method of communicating with children in this situation known as Minimal Facts Interviewing is applicable to children of all ages who report any form of suspected maltreatment, including but not limited to physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and witnessing violence. This webinar on will help participants:
- Identify red flags and other signs of potential child maltreatment.
- Develop understanding on how and what information to gather from a child reporting maltreatment.
- Explain the importance and expectations of mandated reporters, including reporting and cross-reporting suspected child maltreatment.
- Develop skills to identify and respond appropriately to a child or adolescent’s disclosure.
