PART 1 What is the Name of your Cat – Exploring the Free Narrative
Description: The free narrative step is a research based best practice in investigative interviews for obtaining the child or youth’s version of events in their own words. If you are curious about how the name of your cat is related to the free narrative, this webinar will explore types of questions / prompts in the free narrative step and what the research tells us about interviewers’ ability to stay in the free narrative. Participants will learn the principles of the free narrative step, how to effectively use open-ended questions / prompts and strategies to stay in the free narrative step.

Andy became a StepWise instructor in 2008, under the direct supervision of Dr. John Yuille and Dr. Hugues Hervé. Since then, he has trained hundreds of front-line staff in StepWise interviewing.
