Colorado does this - however - when they put a large policeman with tiny children on film ........ all the kids do is cringe with fear wondering what this  person will do to them .......

Subject: Videotaped Interviews

Within the UK children who are subjected to certain types of abuse or neglect may be jointly interviewed by the social work department and police. These interviews are sometimes recorded on video for use in any future criminal proceedings, and also can be used for therapeutic interventions.

 

A colleague is carrying out some research as to the views of children and young people about the interview experience. He is keen to access any research carried out outside the UK on the outcomes/benefits/problems with video taped interviews with children who have been abused. Any responses would be appreciated, even if only to indicate regions where joint video taped interviews take place.

 

Many thanks in advance
