I am writing to invite
child abuse professionals to attend the National District Attorneys
Association’s National
Center for Prosecution of
Child Abuse (NCPCA) upcoming conference: Investigation
and Prosecution of Child Fatalities and Physical Abuse. This
is a multidisciplinary five-day course designed to
meet the needs of frontline child abuse professionals: prosecutors;
investigators; forensic interviewers; social service and child protection
workers; child advocacy center staff; medical and mental health professionals;
emergency response personnel; and victim/witness advocates. This
year, we are adding a section for social workers and forensic interviewers (as
their training focus is often on sexual abuse and assisting the victims of
sexual abuse). Presentations on forensic interviewing of siblings of
homicide victims, domestic violence, and children will be offered, as well as
other topics directed at forensic interviewers and child protection
professionals. Professional topics will include abusive head injuries;
retinal hemorrhages; pediatric autopsies; abdominal injuries, abrasions,
contusions, burns, bite marks, and strangulation; Battered Child Syndrome,
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), and serial child torture; suspect
interviews, confessions and corroboration; crime scene investigation and
documentation; specialized investigative techniques and ideas; and many
others.
To find out more, please
contact Ellen Giuseppe at egiuseppe@xxxxxxxx or register
online at http://www.ndaa.org/education/ndaa/child_abuse_training_schedule.html.
Thank you.
