• Who should conduct the investigation?

• How to...

  • Collect background information;

  • Identify appropriate witnesses;

  • Plan interview questions;

  • Address potential biases;

  • Choose effective interview locations;

  • Deal with reluctant witnesses;

  • Ask effective questions; and

  • Assess conflicting evidence.

• How should you assess credibility and reach conclusions?

• When should you bring in an outside investigator?

• How should you document investigation findings?

• Who should you inform about the investigation findings?

This CALPELRALearn program not only includes lecture by dynamic and experienced trainers, but also allows participants to develop their skills and cement their understanding by engaging in interactive exercises based on real world challenges.
