Guide for including children and young people in reportable conduct investigations

This guide provides advice to organisations and investigators undertaking a Reportable Conduct Scheme investigation that involves children and young people. Children and young people will usually be the alleged victim of a reportable allegation (except for historical allegations). They could also be witnesses in an investigation.

A child or young person involved in an investigation into a reportable allegation, whether they are the alleged victim or a witness, should be interviewed unless there is a good reason why this should not occur. This guide provides guidance and advice to organisations about how to plan and undertake an interview with a child or young person.
