Serving LGBTQIA+ Children and Youth in the Forensic Interview

Course Description

This session will discuss affirmative practices for forensic interviewers working with LGBTQIA+ children, youth and families when responding to allegations of child abuse and maltreatment. In addition to providing an overview of gender and sexuality terminology, some of the topics covered will include interview preparation for the team, youth, family and interviewer, potential blocks and problems in the forensic interview, potential modifications to the forensic interview, considerations for the forensic interview protocol phases, and the use of interview aids. While considerations for the whole MDT will be briefly discussed, the primary focus of this training is on forensic interviewing. Information about the variation of this training that focuses on the whole MDT can be found here. This training can be a 2-hour overview or an eight-hour, in-depth training that is appropriate for forensic interviewers. The day-long training includes demonstrations and practice.  

Learning Objectives

1. Discuss considerations for conducting forensic interviews with LGBQTIA+ victim/survivors.

2. Increase understanding of queer culture, including the issues that affect the LGBTQIA+ community and how victim/survivor’s experiences with systems providers and the experience of polyvictimzations can affect the forensic interview.

3. Offer tools for professionals to examine current practices and create more affirmative interactions and environments for LGBTQIA+ children and families.
