Debriefing

Key points

Once the interview and an agreed joint record of its proceedings has been completed, a debriefing session will be arranged between the interviewers and a senior manager from Children’s Services or the police supervisor overseeing the investigation.


How to do it

The debriefing session will be recorded and both agencies will keep records identifying decisions made, by whom and the reasons for them.

The strategy discussion will review all available information and consider the need for any further action e.g. arrangement of medical examination or further interview.
