Child Interview: Isabella's Bruise

This is an example of a good interview with a child about a reportable conduct allegation against a teacher. The interviewer follows the Standard Interview Method (SIM) guidelines to elicit a detailed and accurate account of what happened from the child.

The film and interview guidelines were developed by the Centre for Investigative Interviewing (http://investigativecentre.com/) in association with the Commission for Children and Young People (https://ccyp.vic.gov.au/). The film was directed by Geoffrey Wright.
